The talented puppeteers have brought many incredible stories to life. They started in 1938. And any Nashvillian will tell you their personal history watching shows for generations.

The Nashville Public Library is a great example of why I love public libraries: it's not just…read morebooks, it's a resource for the community. This library, located in downtown Nashville, has lots of resources for people, including my favorite: a "Library of Things" where people can check out useful objects, such as musical instruments, tools, baking pans, weights, pedometers, sewing machines, binoculars, etc. In the teen area, there is a huge maker space with instruments, a loom for weaving, fabric and yarn for creating things, a podcast room, tools and all kinds of things that teens can use to be creative. The children's area of the library has a big play structure that looks like a ship, as well as a rock climbing wall (I know!), sensory toys, and little nooks with areas set up for play. There's a whole section on the third floor with charging stations and places for adults to hang out. My magazine-loving self loved that they had an archive of old magazines bound into books. I found decades-old copies of Seventeen and Vogue. The whole library itself is beautiful, with marble floors and lots of windows. It was super quiet when I visited. What a beautiful and useful space for the community.

I don't understand why more people don't utilize the library!! Borrowed books and DVD's that are…read morefree! And with online services, it's easier than ever. But I digress...the Green Hills branch has one of the best book selections in Nashville without going downtown. I can always find a book at this location, and thoroughly enjoy my visits here! The place is vibrant and well maintained (take note Richland Branch!!) and is ideal for browsing the shelves for extended periods of time. They also have a good selection of computers to use, that are never overly crowded unlike some of the other locations. Just a library FYI.... you can request a book online and have it delivered to any location. The library will then call you to let you know it's ready for pick up, so when you visit, just look for your name, pick it up and go! You don't even have to go try to search for it in the shelves! It doesn't get much easier than that. For non readers, they also do the same with DVD's and have a variety of classics that you can't get a redbox or instant stream on Netflix. So what's your excuse? Visit the library and get happy!!

They have done a great job of adapting to COVID-19 precautions! All you have to do is call when you get there and your holds will get safely put into your trunk. The library is also keeping returned materials isolated for 5 days for extra safety so I have no concerns when I get materials. I have about 20 things on hold at any given time and I love to go pick them up!

Some people believe that libraries are going the way of the dinosaur. Yet, by the way Clarksville's…read morelibrary has progressed over the years, this would never cross your mind once you step inside. It is a library - yet they have more just 'archaic books on a shelf'. They have a growing computer lab, 60+ computers last I checked. With these computer labs, come various computer classes from the elderly to coding for children. They have a children's section and a pre-teen section so you don't have to run around looking for books that you might enjoy. The children's section is actually behind an extra set of doors for added security. There are secluded study rooms, numerous audio books and the latest DVDs that the library receives all the time. No reason to use a Redbox when this library has the latest and greatest movies. This library has also kept up with technology. You can reserve your items online, and then you will receive an e-mail once it comes in and they will hold it for you. Not only that, but say you want a book that they don't have; simply request it online via their 'order form.' I have actually done this needing a certain study guide. The book came in a few weeks later, and I received an e-mail stating it was ready for pickup. Couldn't ask for more - all for 'free'.

They are always really kind and willing to strike up a casual conversation, or simply let you browse in peace if that's your style. The space here is really open, and the minimalist architecture really lets the window views shine. The design is quite open concept with plenty of study spaces, cafe seating, booth seating, and taller tables. Outside, you can also bring some books you borrowed to read out in the midst of nature. I've written lesson plans here, picked up cook books, and graded a bunch of student papers for hours without interruption. It's way easier to find a seat here than in the downtown library, and it's much easier to park. If you have kids, there's a lego table in the back and plenty of puppets to play with at a stage. Along the side of the children's section, there are a few toddler-friendly learning installments. There's a designated teen area as well with a robust Studio NPL program that the librarians can talk to your teens more about, particularly afterschool programming. Excellent, much like the rest of the Nashville public library system.

Arrived around 10 a.m. on a Tuesday with my 4-, 3-, and 20-month-old. I was surprised by how…read morecrowded the parking lot was, but there was still plenty of parking available. The library opens at 9 a.m. (earlier than Davidson County libraries, which was nice to know). The children's section is completely separate from the rest of the library and even has its own bathrooms. I really appreciated this because I didn't have to worry as much about other guests. The kids area was very crowded, though there are a lot of different spaces throughout and we still could have found quieter areas if needed. Visibility between sections can make it a little difficult to keep track of multiple kids, but that's somewhat expected in a busy children's library. They normally seem to offer story time, though there wasn't one today. Instead, there was a coloring activity set up in the story time room. There were lots of activities for kids including puppets, trains, blocks, computers, and plenty of tables/seating areas. I also appreciated that snacks weren't allowed in the play area, which helped keep everything clean. I knocked off a star because the staff felt a bit quick to correct kids during normal busy-day behavior, even when parents were already handling it. That said, it was an especially crowded day, so I understand they were probably trying to keep things under control. Overall, this is a great library for young kids with a lot to explore and enough space to spend a good amount of time there.
