The MLC maintains statewide databases of online resources, offers statewide networked access to MS public library catalogs, manages the Talking Book Services for print-disabled readers and hosts the WPA County Files from Works Progress Administration programs in the 1930s.[3] MLC publishes two quarterly newsletters, On the Same Page and The Reading Light.[4]
