The UT Martin Library is open to the general public, in addition to UTM students, faculty, and staff!
The University of Tennessee in Martin welcomes the general public to the Paul Meek Library. Anyone can enter the building during normal hours of operation without the use of a card or other identification. Visitors may browse the collections, access Library databases and digital resources, enjoy a comfortable seat, and tap into free Wi-Fi. The Library’s Special Collections department includes campus and regional history materials, including genealogical sources, and a museum space with changing exhibits.
Borrowing privileges are extended to all Tennessee and Fulton County, Kentucky residents. Community borrower cards are issued at the Library’s primary public services desk and are for personal use only. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and able to present a photo ID and documentation confirming their current address.
To check out materials, community borrowers are asked to present a photo ID along with their borrower’s card. Borrowers may check out up to 5 items concurrently. UT Martin alumni and retired faculty and staff with borrower cards may check out 10 items at any time.
Books and textbooks are loaned for 28 days. Borrower cards also allow the user to place money on their card to pay printing fees and some other purchases. Community borrowers may also check out DVD and Blu-ray media, as well as equipment including digital projectors and recharging cables. Media loans are limited to 3 days and must be returned to the Media Services department inside the building during normal business hours.
Visitor parking is available with a free permit in the lot adjacent to the Library at the corner of Wayne Fisher Drive and Mt. Pelia Road. Parking permits must be obtained prior to visiting the Library and may be requested online at www.utm.edu/departments/publicsafety by selecting the “Online Visitor Parking Permit” link. For more information, contact the Paul Meek Library at 731-881-7092.
