Take your love for the library to a whole new level! Imagine helping with the exciting activities happening at your favorite branch, knowing exactly what your library needs from you and from the community, and having the outlet to make a difference.

Friends of the Library groups play a pivotal role in bringing Nashville Public Library's mission to life. Our dedicated Friends work closely with their local branch staff helping to coordinate efforts, fundraise, and more to help the branch make a direct positive impact on the community. Each branch Friends of the Library group is a little different in what they help with and how they do it.
