There are spaces to sit in the corner where you won't be disturbed. I had power outlets, free wifi and a comfortable seat. I was even able to pop out and throw a sandwich together in the van without my stuff being disturbed. Books, periodicals, reference and even librarians able to help.

Groups gather for gaming, book clubs and events. Like everything in Athens, it's within 5 minutes of downtown.

They also refused to talk to me about this issue, and seemed to have a bit of a mood when I tried reasoning with them. I haven't been back since. But anyway... The looks of the place are quite alright, though they did some moving about in the past year and it's been a challenge finding some of the books I had read before. Despite that, the place has a good look about it. Some areas do seem a bit dirty, but overall it's very easy to find a place to sit and read without much trouble. The older librarians I'd met seemed rather fine to talk with, and very friendly. I think a few quit some time before the book accident, though, bless them. The movies are also rather fun to watch and look at, but a lot of them are scratched or irreparable, and leaves one with a tiny fear they would be to blame for the damages. (If you are like me, anyway.) My favorite place in there is the back rooms, but only because it's very quiet there, and they showcase people's artwork. Many a talent is nice to look at. Not sure if they allow anyone back there much, but it's still my favorite place, even if I haven't been back in a long while. The internet last I'd been in there had this rather annoying thing where it would just shut off every 30 minutes and you would have to verify yourself or something. It made it hard for me to work and almost impossible to make large downloads. Hopefully they figure that out some. Still, it is how you think it is. Go take a look yourself and have a fun time with it. They have many books to browse over and they have some fine internet. Also there's a sweet desk in the corner by the back next to a plug. It's the best seat there. The holy corner seat. Have the seat of ultimate privacy, friends. B)

Great Park, Lots To Do…read more This is a great park for kids. Unique park with unique activities and them makes for a good day to play. Treehouse theme is cool and they have some good slides for the kiddos. There is also a walk at path that goes somewhere, but I have gone far down it yet. Across the road is a tank, helicopter and plane or so I am told as well. Parking can be tricky on a weekend as it gets packed and a spaces are limited. Nice park with mostly friendly people.

They have one pavilion that has picnic tables so if it isn't rented out you can use. There are a few benches near the park but on a hot day shade is minimal. I like that they have a variety of climbing objects, plenty of swings, including the two in one where you can have a baby in a baby swing while you're in a adult one. It's a decent sized playground so plus the parking situation is pretty good. Not too hard to find parking.

If it comes to a situation where they do not know something, they will do their best to find out for you.  When I was looking for a certain book and couldn't find it, I came to find out that by telling them what I was looking for was not available. I was assure that they will do their best to get it for me. [It's not a guarantee but I appreciate the attempt]  While I was there, I saw the library had numerous of children's programs. From books, to movies to learning materials.  I also learned they have free movie days, dog therapy days, fun activities for everyone. These are just a few of the things they offer. Collegedale Public Library may look small, but it has so much to offer. For $1, you can have access to internet for 2 hours. For .10cents you can print a page. You can fax as well.  Overall, it's a great public library.

Built in 1856 by Robert Cravens, a Chattanooga industrialist, it originally served as his summer retreat. During the Civil War, the house became a headquarters and observation point for both Union and Confederate forces, playing a key role in the famous "Battle Above the Clouds." The original structure was destroyed during the war, but Cravens later rebuilt it. Today, the house is part of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park, offering visitors a glimpse into the past as well as access to scenic hiking trails.

This place is absolutely fascinating -- it's the oldest surviving home on the mountain, built in 1856 by Robert Cravens, and it literally sat in the middle of the Battle Above the Clouds during the Civil War. It's wild to think this quiet, peaceful spot was once the site of major fighting, and yet the house still stands today! The home is part of the Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park, and the rangers do a fantastic job explaining the history and significance of the area. The grounds are beautifully maintained, and the surrounding trails -- especially the Cravens-to-Sunset Rock hike -- offer some of the best views in all of Chattanooga. Even if you're not a huge history buff, the mix of scenery, storytelling, and atmosphere makes this a really special stop. It's calm, educational, and surprisingly moving to walk where history actually happened. Highly recommend adding this to your Chattanooga itinerary -- it's a five-star experience all around! https://linktr.ee/reessroots
