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.

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

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.

To start, the school is extremely affordable and yet still offers unparalleled opportunity and ability for personal development. I attended here at an affordable rate, yet this university gave me many great experiences (Simply for being a student!) - access to a 3d printer - amazing concerts - free tutoring - an amazing gym with a rock wall - a huge pool - any sporting facility you can think of - foreign diplomats and artists lectures - fun events - a carnival - political and democratic events In addition, the campus is absolutely beautiful and is always expanding and growing! The university itself is old, but its tech and development is state of the art. The professors are generally helpful, fair, and very professional. I thoroughly enjoyed class and you will too (as long as you do what is required of you!) Many professors here are world class! I was taught by authors, news anchors, politicians, and world travelers... their stories were amazing. They were truly a joy to learn from. (Shoutouts: Dr. Diccico, Prof. Burris, Prof. Oppmann, Dr. Kolar, Prof. Willis, Prof. Kent) The student resources were awesome too! This university is top notch at taking care of its students. We had access to every opportunity possible. We had a Job center, clothing closet, food pantry, general stores, plenty of space to hangout, fun events, a great gym, a pool, a rock wall, mental health services, veterans services, a pharmacy, and even a clinic. (I'm sure there is more, but this is impressive alone) I would also like to say that the experiences and memories I made there were absolutely amazing. I met people from all over the world who attended here, and the quality of education I received was the best of the best. My only complaint is that they need more dorms and of a better quality.
