This community is so lucky to have the Hendersonville public library! It's a lovely building with…read morefriendly staff and lots of events for patrons. Our family mainly utilizes the children's section, which is large with a variety of activities for kids beyond books and periodicals. They have a few coloring and craft stations set up, as well as computers. The sensory room is our favorite! It's separate from the rest of the children's area to allow for quiet play or reading. It's a great spot for babies and toddlers to play! There's also fenced in courtyard with a few kids' playhouses and plenty of seating to enjoy time outside in nice weather.

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.

A great library especially the children's section. They make it magical for the kids.read more

This has only been made more clear since covid happened. They have given out crafts and books and offered storytime and activities on zoom and from cars.

We are visiting Bowling Green for just two days and already feel the reach and importance of the public library. Saturday morning we were at the SoKY IceRink seasonally opened at the Farmers Market. Your library card will earn you a $2 discount. Story hour sponsored by the library is also offered at the IceRink twice a week. Saturday evening we celebrated the Winter Solstice at the Capitol Arts Center at the 2nd Annual Music for the Solstice: a Celtic Celebration. This impressive concert with poetry readings and vocalist sprinkled in was sponsored by the Warren County Public Library. Thanks! I can only imagine what else this library offers the community. Today's front page newspaper headline was about the Main Library Renovation plans. Sounds like even better things are in store for that place with a lot of great books.

We stayed almost an hour. While there are more play amenities at the downtown Main Library, the book selection is as good or better for children. The books are generally in better shape, as were toys to keep the kids occupied while you browse or check out. Overall, it was less crowded, cleaner and quieter. If you're on this side of town, stop in and stay a while.

Finding parking was simple since there were plenty of spaces available, and I was able to walk right in without any hassle. From the outside, the building doesn't look like the newest library, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Once I walked inside, though, I was pleasantly surprised. The interior was clean, well organized, and had a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and made getting a library card quick and straightforward, answering my questions along the way. I spent a few minutes looking around before leaving and was impressed with how nice everything was inside. If you've never been because of how it looks from the outside, I'd definitely recommend stopping in. It turned out to be a great experience, and I'm glad I finally got my library card.

One of the first things we did when we moved to Lebanon was receiving a library card. Reading is…read moreclearly more important than visiting the DMV! The librarians are all very kind and helpful. We have been a few times now, mainly for using their printers and copy machine which cost less than 35 cents a page. If you have a library card, you receive up to two complimentary hours on the computer daily. Parking can be a nightmare mid-day but in the evenings, it's a lot easier to find a spot. The library is clean and very well organized. There's a large children's section in the back, an okay selection of DVDs to rent, decent amount of audio books to rent, and they offer Libby, too. This is a nice public library and this Constant Reader is proud to be a member!

The place seems clean enough despite being outdated. Has a bit of the old smell that could be fixed with some air fresheners. Really my biggest qualm about the place is that it is so empty.

I had not been to this branch in years and was actually surprised to find out that the lebanon branch has become the better location. Honestly I think I'd only come back to this branch if a title was not available at the other location. Mt. Juliet you really need to step up your game.

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.

Love the seating around the building, as grabbing something to read, flipping the pages and enjoying the quiet is a rarity, but nice when possible.

A few months ago she asked my son to be quiet when he was literally whispering to me and she was 3 ft from us "pushing chairs in" HE WAS LITERALLY WHISPERING " She also made a Mexican child be " quiet " when she was reading at a normal tone. She is the ONLY librarian there who ear hustle to conversations and ask u to be quiet. The other librarians don't even care . The gray haired older woman don't NEVER tell the white kids or parents to " be quiet" they can make as much noise as they pleases. And they do and she say NOTHING smh she is definitely racist and Islamicphobic.
