Catalog scheduled maintenance

The library's catalog server (behind Aspen Discovery and the Aspen LiDA app) will be upgraded on September 27 between approximately 8:00 a.m. and noon. The catalog will be completely inaccessible part of the time, but as much as possible it will be in offline mode. The catalog is available here during offline mode, but account functions (like signing in and placing holds) will be unavailable.

Due to inclement weather, all Library locations will be closed on Friday, Sept. 27.

We should resume our regular schedule on Saturday.

Program Description

Event Details

Step into the History Parlor for a conversation about history with East Tennessee History Center team members! The format is simple: read any material that touches on history (fiction or nonfiction, global or local, new or old) and come prepared to share a short synopsis with the group. If you have ever longed for a history class do-over or simply love reading about history, this is your chance to share your favorite reads and interesting discoveries with history-minded individuals!

The History Parlor is free and open to the public. It convenes at 9:30 a.m. on the second Monday of each month in the Bilo Nelson Auditorium of the East Tennessee History Center, 601 S. Gay Street in downtown Knoxville.

The History Parlor is organized by Knox County Public Library in partnership with the East Tennessee Historical Society.
