How can I receive a Tennessee Blue Book if I live in a different state?
Tennessee Blue Books are subject to availability to out-of-state residents and may not be readily available upon initial release.
Please note if you live out-of-state and fill out a request form online, your request may be delayed to ensure availability to Tennessee citizens. Since the Tennessee Blue Book is released in the spring, we recommend waiting until the end of the year to inquire about availability.
What role does the Secretary of State play in regulating the use of trademarks or prosecuting their misuse?
The Secretary of State does not play any role in regulating the use of trademarks or in prosecuting their misuse. The Tennessee Trade Mark Act of 2000 designates the Department of State as the filing agency for trademarks. The Department’s role is strictly ministerial. If you have any questions about the “protection” of a mark, infringement upon your mark, or the application of filing requirements to your specific situation, you should consult an attorney or other professional.
What are the responsibilities of a poll worker?
Poll workers conduct assigned duties at a polling site during early voting and on Election Day. Duties can include processing voters, explaining how to mark a ballot, use the voting equipment, or counting votes. Other positions at a polling place include a greeter who assists with answering questions and directing voters to the voting area.
Parking at the Library & Archives
The Library & Archives provides free patron parking in its garage. To access the garage, patrons must obtain a library card at the first-floor receptionist desk.
First-time patrons may temporarily park in the parallel street parking on Rep. John Lewis Way N. After receiving an activated library card from the security receptionist, patrons should move their vehicles to the garage via the ramp on Jackson Street/Junior Gilliam Way.
On weekends, visitors may also park free in the state employee parking lots around the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park.
