Fantastic! For adults, for children, for families, and for the community. They truly have something to offer everyone. From the new books they're constantly adding to their collection to used books for sale to classes and crafts to movie days and community outreach. The library itself is tiny but mighty. The staff here is friendly and quick to help! If you live in Arlington it's free to sign up for a library card. If you live elsewhere I believe it's $50/year to become a member. This place has become our family's happy place and I hope you give it a chance so it can become yours too.

I am new to Somerville, TN. On July 23, I went to the Fayette County Library to donate books…read more These were antique (and some rare) books. Some of them were children's books, such as Raggedy Ann and Andy, which cannot be found today. Some of them were British literature and English Literature. They were books that any collector of such books would appreciate. My first thought was to donate them to Goodwill so that they could be purchased by those who would appreciate them; however, my thought to donate them to the library won out. I had never been to that library before. I went through the front door with the first of two boxes. There were three ladies working at the front desk. Two of them met me with silence and never spoke to me (other than their silence). I went in and set the box down and told them I wanted to donate them. One of the ladies came over to me and told me there was another door to take them to. There was no sign whatsoever that that door was for donations. However, from the front entrance, that door led to a room that only a few feet away. The lady told me to move my car and take them to that other door. I told her my car was right at the front entrance and there was no need to move it. She put up such a fuss that I told her to show me the place to put them and I would take that box to the room. Remember that this was only the first of two boxes. She huffed and puffed about it and finally picked the box up and took it to that room and then opened the entry door to that room so that I could take the second box into that room. Both boxes had only a few books, so they were not heavy. I got the second box in through the donation door (which had no indication that it was to deliver donations). During that entire encounter, the woman did not speak to me. As I was leaving, I introduced myself and told her I was new in town and didn't know many people. She said she had lived here since whatever year and didn't know anyone. By then, I had surmised already that she did not care to know anyone. I wondered why she was working where she was working, what with dealing with people. I told her my son lived here and told her the name of his company and suggested that she may have seen his work vans around town. "I told you," she said sternly, "that I don't know anyone." Since I was there, I really wanted to get a library card and browse around through the books. After my encounter with these very hostile women (especially that one), I decided I had no inclination to ever go back there. I did inquire on behalf of my neighbor who is disabled, but loves to read, about what she had to do to get books from there. The woman said she has to have a TN driver's license. I told her again that the lady is disabled and does not drive and, therefore, has no license. I asked if she could produce something like a utility bill, etc. "No. She has to have a TN driver's license." There are so many disabled and elderly people in Somerville who don't drive and have no license because of that reason. Yet, they love to read, and it is one thing that would make their days and nights - their world - a better place in which to be. I would say that all three of those women need to be dismissed from their positions at Fayette County Library and replaced with others who love books and enjoy getting to know people (especially other readers). By the way, that hateful woman never even thanked me for my donation. From now on, and as long as those hateful, hostile women are in their positions, Goodwill is where I will do all of my book business.

This is a newly developed Civic Center in the Raleigh area of Memphis, Tn. Formerly the Raleigh…read moreSprings Mall, this place has come a long way. It was such an experience to see it go from one staple in the community to now what it is. There are many moving parts at this location including a library, police precinct, walking trail, skate park, and more. I was eager to give the trial a go and I must say it was a very serene experience. From hearing the waves from the lake to watching skaters skate (wait that rhymed, lol), I enjoyed my time out there. It also feels secure knowing that there is a police precinct there. So, walkers and visiter can feel safe at all times. I haven't gotten a chance to go in the library yet, but what I have seen so far....I love it!

What I love the most about it is that it's really close to my house and, when I can't get to our dog park, I can just head over to walk the puppy and let him get some of his energy out. Due to its location, it's a central point for me to meet up with my mom, nephew, and niece for us to walk and bond. The library is beautiful and there is a local precinct at the site. I'm glad that it's open and accessible for me to start getting back in shape. My schedule is so hectic, but this is close enough and short enough that I can get in some steps and get back home to work.

First thing is the kiosk that asks you a few questions about why you are visiting today, then gives you a printout with a number. There were two of us here to see someone for different reasons so two tickets. We were 9 numbers down and sat in comfortable chairs looking at a big screen that showed which numbers were being served. Each time a new number was up they announced it over the intercom and with the window you are to report to. In order to get to your interviewer you open a door and walk into a hallway and seek out your cubicle which has two chairs and a plexiglass divider between you and the staff person. I like this arrangement because you have total privacy from the room full of people waiting and some semi-privacy from the few people around you. I was called approximately :15 minutes after getting my number and my wife was only a couple minutes after that. We both were getting replacement social security cards plus I had a short interview to do for my son. We both were completed in under :10 minutes after interviewing with very professional and cordial people. Overall I was very happy with.the whole experience from beginning to end. This is absolutely my choice for a social security office even though they try to get me to go way downtown Memphis, nope I am going across state lines to a closer, less crowded and more pleasant outpost. Olive Branch and their crew have it together.
