Somewhere Where You Can Lounge and Relax Near Me

You tin apply these rules to give y'all some thought which form to use:
I can discover the books = a statement (Red = personal pronoun - Blueish = verb )
Tin I find the books = a question (and should be followed past a question mark = ? )
Also:
'Tell me' = an imperative/an order.
It is rude or agressive to follow an imperative with a statement.
This may exist appropriate in a military setting, only non in common speech.
We tin make 'tell me' more than polite by turning it into a question:
Tin can you tell me where... ?
The rule 'do not follow an imperative with a statement' is reversed for a question:
'complete the sub-clause of a question in the statement form'
This sub-clause is also a blazon of wh- clause in grammer books.
You could as well look up: subordinating conjunction of identify
1st Clause ... Conjunction 2nd (Wh -)clause:
(Can you)Tell me ... where ... tin can I/I can find the books
I detect that mrr5052 has pointed out the way in which we can reduce the stress on 'tell me' to make it sound less boorish. Note that this is only in spoken English.
