Reelfoot Regional Library facilitates public library development and provides outreach library services to geographically or otherwise disadvantaged populations of Northwest Tennessee.

A seven-member staff offers these services and more:

The region is 66% rural, comprising 3,486 square miles with a 2008/09 service population of 190,229. It was formed in 1941 as a cooperative project with TVA and the State of Tennessee, evolving from thirteen counties to the present six served since May, 1966: Benton, Carroll, Gibson, Henry, Obion, and Weakley. 

As of December, 2008, Reelfoot Region is serving fourteen libraries and 65 outreach stations.  Of the libraries, nine are full-service, one is a branch of the Benton County Library System, and four are community libraries.  Community libraries are established in facilities provided by the towns, with salaried librarians and regular schedules of service hours, but lacking in at least one criteria to be designated full-service by the Tennessee Minimum Standards for Non-Metropolitan Libraries.
