Get ready to go behind the scenes at the Main Library!

We’re offering a special one‑day volunteer opportunity on June 8th to help us prepare for the Main Library’s 25th Anniversary Celebration — and we’re looking for creative, detail‑oriented people to join us!

Help us fold brochures, organize informational materials, and get everything polished and ready for our visitors. Your support will help make this milestone celebration smooth, welcoming, and unforgettable for everyone who walks through our doors.

It’s a fun, low‑pressure way to make an impact, get involved with the library, and earn volunteer hours!

A library representative will contact you after you sign up. Please note: volunteers over age 18 will need to complete a background check.

Nashville, we asked you for your input—and you gave it!
More than 700 people took part in our March 2026 community listening sessions and online survey about building a new Richland Park branch for the future. Here’s what we learned from you:

• You want a library that supports learning, creativity, and connection while preserving the character of Richland Park.
• You want the new facility to connect indoor and outdoor spaces.
• You envision the new Richland Park branch as a community anchor and everyday gathering space for all ages.

We’re excited to move forward in the design process, and we look forward to working with you every step of the way. Thank you for sharing your time, your thoughts, and your dreams for this much-loved community site.

Keep following for updates, and visit our website to find out what’s happening this summer at Richland Park branch! https://bit.ly/4v1gmuc
