Bay St. Louis - Hancock County Library — Attraction in Bay Saint Louis

Great iconic experience at the Hancock County Public Library 📚! Immediately I was drawn into the pleasant atmosphere and shortly after I was greeted with a warm welcome invitation to the library by Deborah. Deborah informed me that the service I had been searching for all day was available at the Hancock County Public Library. In addition to that Deborah walked me through the process and explained to me in detail what I would need to do. Deborah kindly introduced me to Sally, another kind and friendly staff member of Hancock County Public Library, and Sally assisted me in completing the service I needed to complete.

Upon completion of my experience I was even greeted by the Brach manager 😲 I was so grateful for my experience today that I just had to share...

I grew up in a small town and was a frequent visitor of our local one. I feel at home in the BSL branch and find it a wonderful place to spend time or just a...

This library would be great especially in the kids area if they would open a few of the active play toys, for example they have a train track, but no trains available for full interaction. The rule is you must check the trains out even just to stay in the library to complete the full interaction that is already offered for play.

I would encourage the use of toys to be used freely (as they do for kids in many other competitive libraries) so that it invites more of the community to get involved with such a lovely library without worrying about having a library card.

Here are some examples of another library with kids full interaction of play toys without...
