The John Grisham Room is a beautifully appointed exhibit, presentation, and conference suite on the third floor of Mitchell Memorial Library. Its main purpose is to provide a place where people may view materials and memorabilia from the writings and achievements of bestselling author, former Mississippi legislator (1983-1990), and MSU alumnus John Grisham. The Room was dedicated on May 4, 1998.
The John Grisham Papers include:
Subject files and photographs from his years in the Legislature
The original manuscript and revisions of A Time to Kill, Grisham's first novel
Correspondence, including fan mail and personal letters
Promotional materials and newspaper clippings
Translations of Grisham's novels
At present, access to the literary files is restricted, but a number of items are on display.
