Location
Elma Ross Public Library was built in 1992 with a
donation by Dick Ross and matching public funds in honor of his wife. The
Library is located in the heart of Brownsville just 5 miles from I-40, Exit 56 -
about 56 miles north east of Memphis and 30 miles west of Jackson. The road,
Highway 76 and/or Anderson Avenue, from the interstate dead-ends at the
beautiful new library. For easy access: turn right, go past the Woodmen Of the
World (WOW), turn left, circle around and enter the public parking area in front
of the library.
