They have a little bookstore here where they sell donated and old library books to the public for 50 cents to about $3 I believe. I get most of my books from here. They also have large sales a few times a year so check with them when those are!

I've been to many libraries to study and do work at and I major in IT, so when there is an issue…read morewith certain websites cant be accessed to derail certain individuals it gets annoying. There shouldn't be a reason that I can't access the chime site; a site that has no bad rating. I ride the bus and for some odd reason the mata public site also cannot be accessed Whoever the network admin of this building is has fun debugging other individuals websites and playing with the information in such a way that prevents me from getting regular things done. This is discriminatory and illegal actually on many levels unless one can say that I was doing something illegal online which I wasn't and don't. Public of Memphis, I would be very cautious and think twice before doing anything at the computer lab. I actually come to do schoolwork, however there are many bums, junkies and homeless people that takeover the spot and go on rants and security just lets them yell it up (in a library). This facility has all the resources and access, but no structure whatsoever. Anyone reading this, go to the library and try those two sites. Police them.

The statues throughout the library were magnets for the children...The bathrooms were old, but fairly clean for a public restroom. I enjoyed having access to a study room for 2 hrs. Also, a library card is not required to reserve a study room...I felt like I was visiting someone in jail because there's no privacy between the study rooms. Rooms 1 and 2 were separated by a glass window. I didn't like studying while trying to mentally block out the person in room 2. Having a tinted window or curtain to block the rooms would have been great. I was thankful that the security officer removed the clock out of my study room per my request. The ticking sound of the second hand on the clock was a distraction to me...I was able to accomplish my study goals!

She offered her assistance during the week and mentioned other upcoming events hosted by the library. For class you basically just need to bring your own crochet needles/tools and the yard and printed instructions were supplied. I ordered my crochet tools from amazon for reference. I definitely recommend any of the public libraries. They have various programs from cooking, sewing, crochet and even tech class. But this was just the beginning of my crocheting. I plan to attend more events.

They have a huge selection and I love coming here after work or to find something for a birthday gift. They have a huge and organized selection. It is volunteer based and the people who work here are so sweet. If you can't find a book you want they can put it down on a list for you and hold it. When it is donated they'll give you a call. It is also such a steal when everything is so expensive to either get your monthly free book or pay no more than $2 for sometimes completely new books. It's the best!
