Getting Ready for School

No matter what grade your child is entering next month, the best school supply you can get them is a LIBRARY CARD! If you live, work, or attend school in Rankin, Scott, Simpson, or Smith county, you and your children are eligible for a FREE CMRLS LIBRARY CARD. Go to "How do I get my Library Card?" to see just how easy it is. Your library card allows you to check out items from our 21 branches as well as use the online databases and resources.

If you are worried about not getting items returned on time, check out the Early Email Notice service. We will email you three days before your items are due giving you enough time to get them returned to any of the libraries in the four counties; or, you can use this early email notice to go online and renew the items. Either way you won't have late fees!

You may even call our automated system to renew your items or check your account. Make sure you have your library card and your PIN that you registered when you call TeleCirc at 601-825-5450.

Remember, your child's best tool for school is their LIBRARY CARD!
