It was my first time and I got my card, went to the computers and was able to purchase earbuds ($1) as I was on a public computer taking a skills' test. I had sold my desktop before my move from San Diego to Murfreesboro and needed a computer for this part of my interview. I did not see an excess of "homeless" people as some reviewers shared, and it "felt like" it was in the teens. I did not use the restroom so I have no comment.

Parking was tricky the first time but they explained where to go when I called and I am happy to learn the 5th largest city in TN is supporting my frequent library needs. Kudos especially to the person who works on the 2nd floor in the adult section on weeknights. Very personable.

It is very small but that made it easier to look for things without being overwhelmed by too many shelves. They had books for kids, teens, and adults, along with games and even a blind date with a book section. I got several secondhand books for about $50. I will definitely be back to browse again soon. Good prices and friendly staff.

Okay, to start, this isn't McKay's. However, living in Rutherford County, McKay's isn't convenient…read moreor economical. The Happy Book Stake is conveniently located and offers competitive pricing and resale potential compared to McKay, and it's faster. I went there to sell some books, games, and DVDs, and their offer was fair and generous. Like any other used media store, their selection heavily depends on what people bring in to sell and trade, but it's a decent selection for what they have. I would also love to see them participate in Free Comic Book Day.

I love how friendly, kind, and welcoming they are here. My son asks to come to this library.read more

I called to see if they could notarize a form for me. They said yes come any time between 1-5pm…read more Came at 2pm and there were 5 people talking at the desk. When I asked if I could get something notarized, they all looked nervous. The "manager" with long red hair finally said, ""We will get to you when we have time, (very rude demeanor), It might be 30 minutes. She was busy talking with people at the copier and then went into her office. My daughter has been there twice before to try to get a library card twice and they were very rude. I have loved every library I have ever been to over 40 years except this one with extremely rude employees. Very disappointed. Will go to a different library. At least be polite!!!! Very disappointed. Won't ever go back.

Not the frozen I have to wear a parka in the summertime cool like a Krogers or place to eat but cool, like 3D printers, multiple video monitors, every game known to mankind and VR Tech cool. There may even be robots. I'm not sure, the people seem human. A library without homeless? I'm not in Los Angeles anymore. How about a library without books? This is it. All Tech. Meeting rooms, teaching rooms, rows and rows of macs with 4k monitors. It looks about the size of that building you have to go through to get into a public pool but inside you are going to sit down at a workstation and go crazy. Printing is 15 cents a page. They have a couple stand up work areas. The tech curators, I don't want to call them librarians are friendly, helpful, and know their stuff. Okay they might really be robots probably with lazars so I'm being extra friendly. I'm not taking any chances. They have classes and coffee and on and on and on. Do you get the idea I think this place is awesome? It is so awesome that even though I am awesome I might be making them less awesome by being here, or maybe they are making me more awesome. I am hoping for the later. I even got to spend 2 hours in a private room doing a google hangout with my grandson. Oh did I mention that they have a full recording studio? Outside of Nashville, go figure. We had a meeting here that finished about a hour early last week so they hooked up an optical drive and we watched Captain Marvel for the remainder of our time on a 4K UHD in the room from a Mac Mini. Yeah, its that kind of awesome.

I promised myself after I finished my master's degree that I would write a Yelp review about my…read moreschool. This has been a long awaited review. I have been at MTSU since 2018. I completed my last year of my bachelor's, my master's, and in August - I start my doctorate. This school has been a saving grace for me as an adult learner. I can't say a single negative thing about my university. From the professors, the curriculum, to the overall student experience has been exceptional. For the education I am receiving, it is worth every penny. It's not an expensive education considering what I have learned and the village that has been behind me to thrive. If there was a downside to the university, I'd say parking services sucks and they are determined to collect your money. Watch out when you park and pay attention to ensure you park in the correct lot. If you don't - it is going to cost you extra money you don't want to unnecessarily spend. Speaking from recent experience, but I digress. I guess I have officially had my right of passage to receive a parking ticket. MTSU is great for remote learning and easy to understand for those who might not believe that online education is a good fit for them. MTSU caters to those working folks who may not be able to dedicate their entire life to schooling and have other obligations outside of their educational career. I am one of them minus the pandemic. I completed my entire master's online in 3 semesters due to being a full-time student. It was the best way for my to utilize my time during very a very unpredictable year. I do not regret my decision to get it out of the way. The pandemic shifted a lot in our lives and this was the best track for me to take to thrive. Now, with my doctorate on the horizon, I look forward to working full-time while attending part-time. Recognizing the busy schedule that I will have; I could not ask for a better school to walk with me through this educational journey that I am about to endure.
