The Noise Closet at the Chattanooga Public Library

– Starting August 2, 2021 –

Introducing The Noise Closet! The Downtown Library now offers a rock instrument collection available for checkout, including electric guitars, bass guitars, amps, keyboards, and drum sets!

Library cardholders ages 10-17 (and those enrolled in high school) can check out one instrument at a time for a two-week period. Checking out an amp to accompany a guitar or bass is permitted. 

Both the youth and their parent/guardian must sign an Agreement and Consent Form prior to check-out. Click here to download and print a copy.

Noise Closet instruments can be checked out at the Teen/Tween Desk on the 2nd Floor of the Downtown Library.
