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.

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!

I usually order my books through their website and they always arrive within a day or two. Plus, they have OverDrive. Using OverDrive you can get same day ebooks.

I get an email when my books are ready for pickup and a heads-up before they are due. I love this place!

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

There are two stories filled with beautiful views to sit and get some work done while having great scenery to look up at.

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. I would definitely recommend and appreciate finding this hidden gem!

Prejudiced against homeschooled families and retaliatory. My family used the library study rooms…read morefor months because my daughter has a neurological disability and requires a distraction-free environment. Over time, staff in the Special Collections department became increasingly passive-aggressive and unwelcoming, making comments that we were not the "intended" patrons for the space, despite other librarians confirming it was first-come, first-served. The situation culminated when a staff member explicitly told us it was fine to bring a drink into the room, only for my daughter to accidentally drop a few ice cubes on the carpet. Staff insisted it was no problem at the time, but when we returned weeks later, they used this minor accident as a pretext to permanently ban us from the entire Special Collections department. When I attempted to escalate this unfair treatment to the Library Director, Jessica Jetters, my complaints were completely dismissed. The director refused to investigate the staff's hostile behavior, treated us like we were lying, and simply stated: "The decision is final." Since filing the complaint, the retaliation has escalated. We have been banned from community "adult" craft events we were previously invited to attend and are now receiving targeted emails monitoring our room bookings. It feels like an intentional effort by management to bully a family with a disabled child out of a public facility. Unbelievably unprofessional and unwelcoming leadership. I've never experienced this behavior and bullying from mere librarians who've managed to create a single channel with a singular purpose: to make us feel unwelcome to better suit them.

If you're on this side of town, stop in and stay a while.
