Hello! Any questions, comments, suggestions, or general YA chatter can be sent to us at custsvc@cmrls.lib.ms.us. If you wish to contact the library nearest you, click here for information.
We can create a list of books you'll like to read if you'll tell us a book, graphic novel, movie, or television show that you enjoy or we can help you find your homework resources.
