Welcome to the Hancock County Library System!!

Located on the beautiful southwest Mississippi Gulf Coast, we are a library system committed to excellence in public service. Our mission is to bring you the most up-to-date information at the right time in the right form.

Since Hurricane Katrina devastated Hancock County on August 29, 2005, we have continued to aggressively support the community as we rebuild. We provide fax services, copy services, public computers, wireless Internet services and continue to meet the changing needs of the community.

Our branches are conveniently located to meet your needs. Wherever you're going, you'll find a Hancock County Library branch right on your way. Our 24/7 catalog, branch to branch courier service and Express Request book delivery means the items you need will be ordered, packed and ready for pick up as soon as they become available at your nearest branch.

The Hancock County Library System also offers free toddler storytimes, Summer Reading Programs and one-on-one research assistance in person, by phone or by email. Community organizations can use one of our two free meeting rooms.

Please stop by one of our branches and let us help you discover all the wonderful things your public library system can offer. 

We look forward to serving you soon.
