Whenever I move to a new city, I simply MUST investigate their local libraries…read more And so far, Monroe's library on 1800 Stubbs Ave. is a great literary home away from home! They have an extensive collection on pretty much any topic you'd enjoy, but they don't have every author out there. I was looking for some Drew Karpyshyn and found nothing. SAD FACE. I suppose it is, however, rather unfair to expect a local library to possess a work from literally evey author known to man. Also, I have never seen a more extensive DVD collection in any library. They have so many television shows, it's almost unreal! The staff is very friendly and very open to any questions you have. You never have to wait long for someone to help you at the Information desk. They also host fun events for the community like fall carnivals! I even went to a Doctor Who party there once and the room was packed! Good to see we have a large Whovian population! Check this place out and get your card TODAY!

I am planning on visiting an independent bookstore in each state I visit this year…read more This bookstore is on the top floor of a mall/shopping area. I love the decor. Inside I was reminded of the old Tattered Cover bookstore in Denver CO, lots of nooks where books are shelved. They had an entire section of the store desecrated to Southern writers. I appreciated they labeled sections where they had books by one author (notably John Grisham has several shelves to himself).

I know libraries aren't really the *thing* nowadays thanks to eBooks and the world wide web, but as…read morefar as libraries go, this is one of the best I've seen. When visiting MS, I'm constantly on the search for places with free WiFi so I can go sit with my MacBook for a few hours. This is one of my favourite places to do just that. They have lots of tables and chairs set up, so there's never a problem finding a cozy place to plop down for a while. This library is fairly new and it's a really gorgeous building, both inside and out. Everything is so well organized and it's kept spotless. Of course you'll find books here (duh, it's a library), but they also have tons of CDs, DVDs, and video games (for the Playstation, XBox, and DS) that you can check out. Thanks to the great people of the Rankin County Library System, they let me use my parents' address to get a library card. This allows me to check things out (I like to listen to the CDs on my laptop sometimes while I'm here and I need a library card to get the CDs) and it also allows me to use one of their many computers and the internet if I happen to not feel like bring my Mac with me. The entire staff are very friendly and helpful. They will go out of their way to help you find what you're looking for. LOVE this library! I so wish we had one like it in Jacksonville!
