“As a lifelong reader and a parent, I am not exaggerating how crucial the library is to a functioning democratic society. By protecting library access, our community figures out how to care for one another. By protecting the library access of people from across generations and social positions, of people of all genders and creeds, our community figures out how to care for one another."

“I have always supported the library. Love everything - most especially the Civil Rights Room, The Votes for Women Room, The Puppet Truck and the many offerings given to the children in MNPS and the community at large.”

By supporting the Nashville Public Library Foundation, you are building a more literate, imaginative, and equitable Nashville.
