I love this place. I come here all the time to read, study, or just think. There is something infinitely satisfying about walking through rows upon rows of books, even knowing you will never be able to read them all. My favorite time to come here is mid-semester, when no one is cramming and Hodges is relatively empty. At night is also the best, even into the witching hours of the evening, when you can see the Knoxville skyline from the 5th or 6th floor in complete silence. I’ve been visiting here for years and will not forget this place possibly ever, as it has been synonymous with my life in Knoxville during my early 20’s. The best spot in K-town, in my honest opinion.
