We're looking forward to returning to our beautiful building soon!

The independent restoration company leading the reopening process at the Main Library has taken a significant step toward setting a reopen date, which is now tentatively scheduled for Monday, March 30, resuming normal weekday operating hours of 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
This date is still tentative, pending a final Fire Marshal and Metro Codes inspection required before Library staff can reoccupy the building.
Please check library.nashville.gov for more information.
We look forward to seeing you and serving you at the Main Library!
