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'.

If it is a TV series season of DVDs like Friends Season One, you can check out that season set of DVDs for two weeks. DVD library is extensive. Some of the DVDs are the latest DVDs set out in RedBox except they are free to check out. The library book selection is not so big, but I have no complaints. I am very happy with this library. I love watching Japanese anime and horror movies. One of the perks of this library is the free books and items at the entrance. They, also, have lots of fun and free activities for children. I don't have children, yet I think parents should take advantage of such services!

I asked if they could help me get a library card set up and they had it done within a few minutes! Such a great experience in an amazing library.

Its downtown location also provides convenient internet access for a large amount of the population, I think that's an excellent service to the community!

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 recently visited the Downtown Nashville Public Library to explore the Civil Rights Room and Votes…read morefor Women exhibit on the second floor in Special Collections. The building impressed me with its beautiful architecture--spacious with perfect lighting throughout. The helpful front desk librarian directed me to Special Collections, accessible via elevator or the stunning winding staircase leading to the circular second-floor rotunda. The Civil Rights Room (established 2002, renovated summer 2024) houses thousands of books documenting the movement--from biographies of leaders to Nashville's specific contributions. The collection spans academic works, personal accounts, photographic histories, and legal analyses. The room's centerpiece is a circular table with the actual rules students followed during lunch counter sit-ins etched into its surface. A separate small viewing room offers videos about the movement, and the librarian on duty provided me resources to take home. The Votes for Women Room (established spring 2020, modeled after the Civil Rights Room) commemorates the 19th Amendment's centennial. This visually striking space with bold colors showcases women from diverse backgrounds who fought for suffrage from the 1800s onward. The room was funded by numerous benefactors committed to preserving this important history. Interactive displays, videos, and a comprehensive timeline eloquently present women's long struggle for equality. Notable figures include the determined Ida B. Wells alongside contemporary voices like Tarana Burke, known for establishing the "Me Too Movement." This room clearly connects past struggles to present day challenges. Pro Tips: * Parking: Use the garage (3rd and 4th floor). First 60 minutes free on weekdays, 90 minutes on weekends. Bring your parking ticket to the front desk for validation. * Taking Uber/Lyft is a convenient alternative to downtown parking. * Check the website for hours, parking details, and upcoming special exhibits. * The children's section is outstanding and interactive--perfect for families! * On-site restaurant plus numerous nearby restaurants and coffee shops. * Hotels: Many are available downtown for tourists. * Other nearby attractions: TN State Capitol, Tennessee State Museum, Farmers' Market, Bicentennial Mall, Nashville Symphony, Ryman Auditorium, National Museum of African American Music, Country Music Hall of Fame. As Coretta Scott King said, "Struggle is a never-ending process. Freedom is never really won; you earn it and win it in every generation." These exhibits aren't just history--they're powerful reminders of ongoing struggles. We should not take anything for granted! While Nashville is famous for music, don't miss this special place that connects us to important American History. It will be an experience for you and your family to appreciate the struggles of the past and connect with an important part of American History.
