About Us
The Madison County Library System, located in central Mississippi near the state capital of Jackson, is one of forty-seven public library systems in the state of Mississippi. As a joint city-county public library system, it is our mission to provide materials and services to meet the changing personal, educational, professional, and cultural needs of all the citizens of Madison County.
We are governed by an administrative Board of Library Trustees, consisting of nine members: one from each of the four cities in Madison County, and one appointee from each of the five county supervisors' districts.
The library system is largely supported by local taxation. Appropriations are provided each year from Madison County and from each municipality in the county based upon the yearly budget request of the Board of Trustees. Additional income comes from a per capita grant from the State of Mississippi (administered by the Mississippi Library Commission), and from a number of other miscellaneous grants, gifts, and library fines.
