Northeast Regional Library

The Northeast Regional Library serves the four northeastern Mississippi counties of Alcorn, Prentiss, Tippah, and Tishomingo.

Established in 1951, the Northeast Regional Library is the second oldest regional library system in Mississippi. It is comprised of a headquarters library at Corinth and twelve branches.

The Northeast Regional Library is governed by a five member Regional Board of Trustees with a representative from each county filling the first four positions. The fifth position is filled by a representative from a different county each time that elections are held.

The Northeast Regional Library strives to supply accurate, timely, and comprehensive information to enable each person to use the library to its full potential. The library has traditionally been a free source of lifelong learning for anyone who has made use of its resources. With the advent of technology in libraries, the public will continue this lifelong learning process by making use of computers, software, and training, available to all at no cost.
