Library Cards

All Panola County residents may obtain a library card. There is no waiting period for a card. Your first card is free, with each additional card costing $2.00. You must have your card present to check out materials or use the computer.

Residents applying for a library card must provide a picture ID and proof of residence in Panola County. Acceptable examples of ID:
driver's license, ID card, utility bill, insurance card, school or work ID, personal check.  Exceptions are offered for the following:
*Students of Panola College
*Panola County landholders with proof of ownership
*Commuters working permanently in Panola County with proof of employment
*Grandparents with grandchildren visiting for the summer

If you do not qualify for a library card, but would still like to access our high-speed internet, a temporary pass may be obtained with proper picture identification. This pass does not allow you to check out materials from the library, and expires one week from the date issued.

Sammy Brown Library Report
By Debbie Godwin

The Sammy Brown Library wants to wish you a happy New Year and encourage our community to take advantage of all the public library resources available to help you keep your New Year resolutions. 

You want to save money? Don’t buy or rent those DVD’s; use your library card and watch them for free.  The library has books on how to make money, invest money, or save money.  A paperback book can cost you upwards of six dollars; you can borrow as many as you need, keep them for two weeks, return them to the library and take home as many more as you want.  Renting one movie a week and buying one paperback book per month cost the average family $320.00 per year.  If you rent two movies every week, you will spend approximately $520.00 per year.

If your resolution is to get healthy, check out our diet books, cooking light cookbooks, and exercise books and videos. 

Need to get organized in 2010?  We have some great books on getting and staying organized at home or at work.  More
