Get Outside! (to read)

Is there anything better than taking a good book outside and enjoying this wonderful spring weather? I think not. Reading is the best way to soak up some Mississippi sun and pollen. If, though, you’re like me and always concerned about your delicate skin, you should consider picking up a book of short stories for a quick trip outside. And, wouldn’t you know it; the Mississippi Library Commission is the best place to find that perfect book. You can find stories by Eudora Welty, John Cheever, Tim O’Brien, Flannery O’Connor, and countless other famous and not so famous authors. We also have collection of subject specific short stories. Do you like science fiction stories, detective stories, ghost stories, or stories about growing up in the South? Well, we have books that feature each. We even have books that will help you write your own short story. So now you have no excuse. Check out a book this weekend and enjoy some lovely sunshine.
