Edmondson Pike Library Branch
There’s something about a neighborhood library that makes you feel rooted in a place. Maybe it’s the friendly faces behind the front desk, or the enthusiastic response you receive when you show up at a library event. Maybe it’s just the comforting and familiar smell of all those books.
Celebrating 25 years this December, the Nashville Public Library’s Edmondson Pike branch is always teeming with neighbors and kids from area schools. And the programming is so above and beyond what you might expect — crafting sessions for tweens, Dungeons and Dragons sessions for teens and adults, a zine club, story time, yoga, crochet, reading-with-dogs events … the list of activities is kind of unreal. The library staff updates the branch’s website and Instagram profile with event details and more.
The library is an amazing resource for neighborhood-building and access to whole new worlds — via both books and activities — right in our South Nashville community. Don’t ever change, Edmondson Pike branch!
