📖 About Mississippi County Library System
The Mississippi County Library System is the public library serving Blytheville and surrounding Mississippi County communities in the Arkansas Delta. Located at 200 N. Fifth Street in downtown Blytheville, the library stands as an important educational and community resource in a region shaped by agriculture and the legacy of Blytheville Air Force Base, which closed in 1991 and was later redeveloped as Arkansas Aeroplex and the Arkansas Northeastern College campus. The library offers extended evening hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays — until 8pm — and is one of the few Arkansas county libraries open on both Saturday and Sunday, accommodating patrons with weekday work schedules. Free public computers, internet access, and digital resources through Arkansas Traveler serve residents throughout the county.
