Always helpful, always well-staffed, always clean. Having a large family, we are there pretty often for movies, books, and the special programs.

Its downtown location also provides convenient internet access for a large amount of the population, I think that's an excellent service to the community!

If it is a TV series season of DVDs like Friends Season One, you can check out that season set of DVDs for two weeks. DVD library is extensive. Some of the DVDs are the latest DVDs set out in RedBox except they are free to check out. The library book selection is not so big, but I have no complaints. I am very happy with this library. I love watching Japanese anime and horror movies. One of the perks of this library is the free books and items at the entrance. They, also, have lots of fun and free activities for children. I don't have children, yet I think parents should take advantage of such services!

Some people believe that libraries are going the way of the dinosaur. Yet, by the way Clarksville's…read morelibrary has progressed over the years, this would never cross your mind once you step inside. It is a library - yet they have more just 'archaic books on a shelf'. They have a growing computer lab, 60+ computers last I checked. With these computer labs, come various computer classes from the elderly to coding for children. They have a children's section and a pre-teen section so you don't have to run around looking for books that you might enjoy. The children's section is actually behind an extra set of doors for added security. There are secluded study rooms, numerous audio books and the latest DVDs that the library receives all the time. No reason to use a Redbox when this library has the latest and greatest movies. This library has also kept up with technology. You can reserve your items online, and then you will receive an e-mail once it comes in and they will hold it for you. Not only that, but say you want a book that they don't have; simply request it online via their 'order form.' I have actually done this needing a certain study guide. The book came in a few weeks later, and I received an e-mail stating it was ready for pickup. Couldn't ask for more - all for 'free'.

I would definitely recommend and appreciate finding this hidden gem!

Prejudiced against homeschooled families and retaliatory. My family used the library study rooms…read morefor months because my daughter has a neurological disability and requires a distraction-free environment. Over time, staff in the Special Collections department became increasingly passive-aggressive and unwelcoming, making comments that we were not the "intended" patrons for the space, despite other librarians confirming it was first-come, first-served. The situation culminated when a staff member explicitly told us it was fine to bring a drink into the room, only for my daughter to accidentally drop a few ice cubes on the carpet. Staff insisted it was no problem at the time, but when we returned weeks later, they used this minor accident as a pretext to permanently ban us from the entire Special Collections department. When I attempted to escalate this unfair treatment to the Library Director, Jessica Jetters, my complaints were completely dismissed. The director refused to investigate the staff's hostile behavior, treated us like we were lying, and simply stated: "The decision is final." Since filing the complaint, the retaliation has escalated. We have been banned from community "adult" craft events we were previously invited to attend and are now receiving targeted emails monitoring our room bookings. It feels like an intentional effort by management to bully a family with a disabled child out of a public facility. Unbelievably unprofessional and unwelcoming leadership. I've never experienced this behavior and bullying from mere librarians who've managed to create a single channel with a singular purpose: to make us feel unwelcome to better suit them.
