The Mississippi Library Commission (MLC) Is the official library agency of Mississippi located in Jackson, Mississippi. It was established in 1926 by an Act of the Mississippi Legislature.[1] It is overseen by a five-member Board of Commissioners.[2]
The MLC maintains statewide databases of online resources, offers statewide networked access to MS public library catalogs, manages the Talking Book Services for print-disabled readers and hosts the WPA County Files from Works Progress Administration programs in the 1930s.[3] MLC publishes two quarterly newsletters, On the Same Page and The Reading Light.[4]
The MLC's headquarters is a 60,000 square foot building built in 2005 that is open to the public.[5] It was awarded the American Architecture Award in 2007.[6]
