The Office of Textbooks coordinates textbook adoption, distribution, care and use in Mississippi's schools, both public and non-public. The Textbook Office supports the Textbook Inventory Management System (TIMS). Textbook procurement for state accredited, non-public schools is facilitated through the Textbook Office. The surplus book program is also operated through the Textbook Office.
