The University of Tennessee Library is located on Melrose Avenue between Cumberland Avenue and Volunteer Blvd. You can get to it by turning directly onto Melrose off Cumberland (in between the Smothie King and some University building construction) or by taking Volunteer off of Cumberland (other side of Sixteenth Street) and then turning onto Melrose off of Volunteer.
UT does not give tickets at night so if there is space available you can park in the lot next to the library by the International House. If that lot is full you can continue up Melrose and take a right onto Andy Holt Avenue. There will be a parking lot, where there are usually spots available, immediately on your left at the back side of the Clarence Brown Theater.

Oh! What a fantastic series.
Thanks for posting this, Michael. I was at Highlander's 75th anniversary celebration last week, and the work they do is admirable and very impressive. Is there an admission charge?
"Is there an admission
"Is there an admission charge?"
as far as i know, there is NO admission charge. actually, there has been a socialforum film series at hodges library for the last 4 years or so -- an outcome of the need by the progressive community to educate itself (and others) on social justice issues and screen films not seen at local movie houses.
Sounds like...
Sounds like a good series.... Thanks to UT and the Appalachian Community Fund for making these films available.
