    I enjoyed stopping by here to check out this library! I've never seen one connected to other places…read morebefore so it took me a minute to figure out how to get in. This place is so open and bright. There was someone working at a desk right by the entrance, Sammy, who showed us around and told us about some of the things they do. I really liked their displays. It was cool how they even have a bookshelf dedicated to books that haven't been checked out in a while and will be excessed. I think they sell them on their carts by the entrance. I was hoping to find another library bookstore but oh well it was still fun visiting here!

    Searching for a good place to sit down and get some work done, I looked up the nearest library and…read morewas so glad to find this one! The entrance is really beautiful and has a path to walk around outside, including a park that would be awesome for you if you have kiddos. The library as a whole, both inside and outside, was super clean and nice. There are many computers to use for free as well as places to sit by the window with charging ports for any electronic devices you may need to charge. There were two study rooms that looks really nice, although they were both full when I visited. It would be awesome if they could add another study room or quiet area in the future! The kind woman at the front desk was super helpful with any questions I had and added a very friendly touch to my experience. I will definitely be back to get more work done or check out a book or two in the future!

    This is a great place to have books held for you from other locations. The staff is terrific,…read moreALWAYS helpful and on top of patrons' reading tastes and requests.The collection may be smaller than some other branches, but it's up-to-date,organized, and in mint condition, even the picture books. Children's programs are excellent, and community support for getting out of the weather---hot or cold----people who might wander in looking for help with their garden,their tax forms,theircomputer,or othercommunity resources are there.It's not just a book collection. It's a caring,safe space.

    You need to understand this branch before you go to it. It serves the kids at the community center,…read moreit serves people in need, and it serves as a reminder that funding the library system is important because it's too small to serve the area in all capacities. It's got a decent kids collection, the adult side has about 1/4th the space of say Green Hills Library so you're limited in what's in stock, a food pantry shelf, and it does a lot of kid-based events. It doesn't have a whole lot of books, no. That said, since early times I can remember you use the Nashville Public Library website to request a book be delivered to them where you then go and pick it up. It doesn't have the greatest selection in house, but it has access to everything any other library has. Don't want to spend time walking the miles of books at other libraries? Bam here's your library son! Bookmobile for the win! Concentrated delivery optimized. You in need of an emergency puppet show or want to read to puppies? My bet is they've got you covered. Check their schedule man! You need to grab some food because you're hungry and need help? Awww yeah, just go in and I believe turn left and you'll find a shelf and no questions asked brother, they're feeding you. Need something for your friend? They got you covered. No shame. You looking to fix your dirt up and farm? Awww yeah break out your hoes and spades and get some freaking seeds. They've got food, flowers, a couple of things I'm not exactly sure on, and you can just get a couple and go and grow. Tactical urban improvement gardening for the win. Look, there are bigger better selection libraries that have more stuff in them. If you can and want, go to those. Thompson lane branch has got people who care and work with the community too. This one has Magda NPL running the sosh meeds to inform the public in posts in neighborhood groups and doing a pretty good job of it, it's got librarians who can handle more than sorting books. They've got computers for the under-screened, they've got pamphlets for getting back on your feet, they've got parking (usually) and are actually quite cool when your hoarder kid loses several books for an extended period before eventual return. The Nashville Public Library is so much more than what you can fit onto the shelves of any one place. So keep in mind you may want to go online to have your books delivered there, and it's well utilized for what the needs of the community are. Bring some headphones if you're using the computer and you should be able to drown out the sound of a library actually being used. One thing I would suggest though that I think would improve things is to move the computers, copiers, etc back away from the front desk but slap cameras on them that are visible from the front desk. This will prevent 1) purn, 2) my kids walking up and asking what a resume is and what are the things on it before I notice they asked. Library is what you make it. Order your books there, go make it a great experience.
