HISTORY
Library services to the Highlands and Shelby Park neighborhoods date back more than 100 years, with two original libraries located separately in elegant Carnegie buildings. The collections were merged and moved to the Mid-City Mall in 1994, creating Highlands-Shelby Park Library.
The Library serves the numerous neighborhoods that make up the southeast urban core, including Germantown, Camp Taylor, Cherokee Triangle, Tyler Park, Schnitzelburg, Paristown, Smoketown and Phoenix Hill creating a diverse and eclectic community.
In 2001 a separate teen room, the Outpost, was added to provide programs and services for middle and high school patrons. The Library partners with the many active community organizations in the area for a variety of programming and activities.
The Highlands-Shelby Park Library continues to provide the excellent service of its two predecessors while also offering the convenience of mall shopping and abundant parking.
