The Eastland Federal Courthouse library opened in October 1992. The general reference collection includes numerous directories, dictionaries, style manuals, medical references, news periodicals and atlases.
Special emphasis is placed on collecting Mississippi legal titles.
Susan Hicks, the Jackson Satellite Librarian, began working for the Fifth Circuit in October 1990. Prior to that, she was employed for fifteen years by the Mississippi State Law Library in circulation, reference and cataloging, as assistant director, and from 1988 to 1990, as State Law Librarian. She has a B.A. in History from Mississippi State University and a M.L.S. from the University of Mississippi. The librarian travels to the Northern District of Mississippi courthouses at least twice per year to provide hands on management of chamber collections in Aberdeen, Oxford and Greenville.
