Reviews
"I had brunch at the Cossitt Library. As well as seeing the Eclipse with my solar glasses. The waiter was very friendly and the Shrimp and Grits was delicious. My first time visiting the Cossitt Library. I will be back for sure. Thanks for the Free glasses Memphis Public Library."
"Modernized Downtown library features restaurant, photo/video and podcast studios for public use; co-work spaces, meeting and stdy space, as well as performance area."
"The library is clean, well kept and has everything you need to get your work done. Our room had an issue with AC/HVAC but once we addressed the issue, the librarian Blake came to our rescue. He helped us tremendously and made sure we were adequate with fans, outlets and other support. Shoutout to Blake, he's the best!"
"Beautiful, inspiring space! The renovation was well worth the wait. Cossitt has so much to offer, for every age. This library sets the standard for engaging civic places. The murals, recording studio, artist lab, and restaurant make this inclusive space a must do experience."
