Library Commission offers special library

Glenda Tillson and Tracy Carr Seabold

ONE OF THE best-kept secrets on the Northside is a library.

Tucked away in the Mississippi Education and Research Center off Ridgewood Road in Jackson, the Mississippi Library Commission (MLC) has a library of its own, one that is open to the public.

Since the MLC is a state agency that supports public libraries throughout the state, the MLC library does the same thing. It supplements public libraries when needed. But it’s also there for anyone 17 or older who has a public library card.
