Morristown-Hamblen Library — Attraction in Morristown

They have a decent collection and nice year-round programs for the community, but their return process is difficult and unorganized. The only place you can return items during open hours is a drop-box at the front of the building at the circulation desk, and since parking is limited to mainly the back of the building, there is no simple and quick way to return items.

Avoid Sherry at all cost:

It is hit or miss with the staff at this Library. I've been coming to this library for a week now. I'm a medical student that travels the country doing rotations in different hospitals. Some days the staff were nice and other days, they didn't want to be bothered. The majority of the tables are not close enough to electrical outlets to plug in your laptop.

Today for some reason the librarian (Sherry) had a chip on her shoulder and would not let me check out a power strip nor would she allow me to move the table a couple of feet so i could plug in my laptop. I had to leave and find an...
