When you find out about all of its perks, a trip to the local library might leave you pleasantly surprised. Collegedale Public Library is just a short drive from our Ooltewah apartments, offering many resources waiting to be utilized.
Books, Music, and Movies
There are traditional books on the library shelves waiting to be checked out, and some may be requested through an interlibrary loan to be sent to you if unavailable at your local branch. Aside from the traditional books, you can access thousands of e-books, audiobooks, magazines, and comics through Hoopla. Let's not forget the extensive catalog of movies and music you can stream through Hoopla on any available device, from phones to TV.
Learning and Researching
For language learners, try out Transparent Language, which offers a selection of over one hundred languages, even some that are not very common. When researching your family history, you can access Ancestry databases with millions of records available to be searched. For general learning, check out Gale to read through literary databases, articles from nutrition magazines, environmental study materials, and so much more.
Other Exciting Benefits
Did you know you can check out a ukulele kit from your library? This is a perfect way to check out if you might like it and possibly get you started on a new hobby. Save an extra trip and have your documents notarized at the library while picking up your books. Just contact the library beforehand to make sure a notary is available when you plan to stop by. Don't forget to check the library event calendar to see what is happening any given week, as the library offers many programs like crafts and DIYs, workshops with local authors, financial advice programs, and book clubs.
