We love Cedar Bluff Branch Library! It is the best. Ever since I moved to TN /Knoxville I got a…read morelibrary card and then when I had kids I took them to baby bookworms and story time. They loved shaky eggs and singing and listening to more books. We will come and max out our library cards... so I was glad when I could get library cards for the girls (max physical items you can take at once is 50, max online from Libby is 15 loans and 25 on hold). Now we don't have to worry about limits since we have 3 library cards. The girls love Crafternoon in the summer and the scavenger hunts around the kid's section in the library. We could spend all day here if I didn't have to work. The online selection is really good and allows us to save lots of money on books. We love the library and all our Cedar Bluff librarians!

Libraries seem like a dying place in the world if Nooks, e-readers, iPads, downloadable books, and…read morethe Internet. This library is still vital to the community it serves. Walking around I saw students studying, foreign people reading books or visiting, children reading with parents, those without home computers and smart phones using the free computers. The staff are super friendly. Books are available for a 3 week check out with an additional 3 weeks (2x) for a 9 week total borrow time. Call or go in to have your books renewed. The library offers children's activities, story time, and adult reading time. Books and media can be returned day and night at the outside drop box.

I wandered into the bookstore, next to the front doors. For $5, you can buy a bag of mystery books! I searched for two books for a friend, but didn't find them. They do have a very nice selection of children and adult books. Husband waited by the welcome sign while I wandered. He used their free internet to read his Apple News stories.

This is amazing I can find great books in there not to mention they sell movies cd and moreread more

I love this location for straightforward service as well as their children's reading area. The…read morelibraries these days are very little and underutilized but as I have discovered we as taxpayers have been sleeping on a very very good resource. As there are over 10 locations in the Knox County area the Bearden one and the downtown one are my favorite locations. They have adequate space and you are allowed to be on the computer with Internet access for up to three hours per day, which is not bad at all. I've never experienced this one being over capacity or very crowded so there's always a good experience and enough books to check out here. If you want to just sit down with your child and read a few books while checking out some the maximum limits are very high and the service is great! Get back to the simple things in life.

Both OR and Knox library systems have beefed up their digital offerings due to COVID and my Kindle has gotten a workout. The Libby app allows you to request putting ebooks on hold and OR Library website allows you to place physical items on hold for easy pickup. There are racks of free books in the entry atrium, too. My kids love the child room, full of learning toys, a fort to climb, rocking chairs, crafts, and of course, books galore. There is a gorgeous view of the courtyard with a fountain and the great playground that lies beyond. The staff is friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. They always have printables with puzzles, coloring pages, book lists, and schedules for events and story time. We love our library!

I love this place. I come here all the time to read, study, or just think. There is something…read moreinfinitely satisfying about walking through rows upon rows of books, even knowing you will never be able to read them all. My favorite time to come here is mid-semester, when no one is cramming and Hodges is relatively empty. At night is also the best, even into the witching hours of the evening, when you can see the Knoxville skyline from the 5th or 6th floor in complete silence. I've been visiting here for years and will not forget this place possibly ever, as it has been synonymous with my life in Knoxville during my early 20's. The best spot in K-town, in my honest opinion.

There is also a Starbuck on the second floor along with a Pod Market so if you're here for hours at a time like I am there are always options! There is a tech support station as well which always helps me out because I don't understand my computer sometimes, they're so helpful and never judgmental! When studying with my friends we love to stay on the second floor because we're able to talk more, the higher floor you're one the more quite it gets! Overall, Hodges has really helped me figure out my work ethic and I definitely recommend!

She told me what I needed to do after I lost my TX DL and needed to replace it with a TN DL and change my name (since I'd recently got married). I reached the DMV (State Drivers Center since I'm transferring), after an hour's wait, I tell the lady what I told Ms. Avis had told me and since I didn't have my current DL that I would need to come back with a TX "Surrender form". SURRENDER FORM! This form is used for folks who do not wish to drive, physically incapable of driving, have a certain type of DL for sex offenders, or ineligible to drive due to losing privilege's. I don't want to SURRENDER, I wanted to replace and convert it to TN. Anyway, if you call for help, Ms. Avis is a 5/5 stars which made up for my crappy service/unreliable information at Gore Road in Knoxville.
