teve: Nashville Public Library makes such
Sa statement for our city – it’s the symbol
of our culture. Our city is lucky to have a
superbly run library that not only reaches
out to the community, but embraces change
to remain a relevant source of information
and education for the entire community.
We’ve been supporters of Nashville Public
Library for almost 20 years. Judy remembers
the library’s book mobile as a child and often
took our grandchildren to see the legendary
puppet shows by Tom Tichenor. In 2001, we
became more invested in the library’s future,
just as the Country Music Hall of Fame,
Frist Center for the Arts and the new Main
Library were all opening downtown. It was
the beginning of Nashville’s renaissance and,
in my opinion, what led us to become the
“It City.”
