NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — For the first time in 10 years, the Nashville Public Library is opening a new library and they're hosting a list of fun events to celebrate.
The new Donelson Branch opens today, and the grand opening kicks off at 9:30 a.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony, musical performances, dancers and story times for children.
The grand opening celebration was Saturday. It allowed the public to enjoy an evening of mixing and mingling with other Donelsonians to celebrate the culmination of 8 years of work to get the new building conceptualized, designed, built, filled, and almost open.
The new location will be at 2714 Old Lebanon Pike.
After the ribbon cutting at 9:30 there will be a fables event at 11 a.m., an Afro Latin Drums and Dance performance at 12 p.m., story time with the Nashville Symphony at 1 p.m., a performance from the Nashville Irish Step Dancers at 2 p.m. and another story time at 6 p.m.
Recently while home sick, I got to watch the news just like you — a viewer! And I have to brag on my co-workers. Not only are they great people and journalists, but they are also tremendous advocates. Look no further than the recent reporting by Amanda Roberts and Jennifer Kraus. This kind of reporting takes dogged commitment. To us, it's always more than a story; this is our home too.
