Joint Statement Regarding the MCLS & The City of Ridgeland Library

Ridgeland, MS — We are pleased to announce that the longstanding relationship between the City of Ridgeland and the Madison County Library System (MCLS) will continue. Both parties have reached an agreement concerning matters over the Ridgeland Library Branch. Earlier this week the Memorandum of Understanding was adopted by and between the City of Ridgeland and the MCLS.

Mayor Gene McGee, City of Ridgeland Board of Aldermen and the MCLS Board of Trustees strongly support a diverse library collection that is consistent with the American Library Association’s Bill of Rights. Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Our libraries are a repository of knowledge and culture, providing far more than access to books.

The City of Ridgeland held a special meeting tonight to formally adopt the Memorandum of Understanding pertaining to this matter and are happy a resolution has been found. The City of Ridgeland’s constituents can continue to enjoy and treasure the library that is a special place within our community.
