Bolivar County Library System Mississippi Room – Robinson-Carpenter Public Library A Guide to Genealogical Records and Resources This guide is designed to function as a finding aid for patrons performing genealogical research in the Mississippi Room and is not a complete list of materials in the Mississippi Room. All materials (books, microfilm, VHS cassettes, maps, etc.) in the Mississippi Room are non-circulating meaning they may be used in the Mississippi Room ONLY and may not be checked out.

A microfilm reader/printer in the Mississippi Room and copy machines near the Circulation Desk are available at a cost of 25cents per page for B&W and $1.00 for color copies.
