9 Reasons to Visit the Downtown Nashville Public Library
One of the Best Free Things in Nashville
The Nashville Public Library system is one of the best that I’ve encountered, and the Main Library location in Downtown Nashville is particularly worth visiting. I’m a huge fan of books and reading, and I go to my local library location on a regular basis.
Seeing the Main Library was one of the things on my 2023 Nashville Bucket List. I’ve been twice so far in the past three months, and I’ve been amazed every time.
If you’re in Nashville, as a local or as a visitor, here are just a few of the reasons why you should check out the Main Library.
The library has free parking.
While free parking at a public library might not be exciting for most people, given the cost of parking in Downtown Nashville, it’s kind of a big deal. Library visitors can park in the library garage for free for the first 90 minutes. Parking is $3 each half hour after that. If you’re just visiting the library though, you should be able to get in and out within the free period.
Be sure to validate your parking at the machine on the first floor near the entrance. Rates are different after 5 pm and on weekends, so check the library website for more details.
