⚾️ Don't miss your chance to cheer on the Nashville Sounds while supporting a great cause!

Join us on Sunday, June 14 as the Nashville Sounds take on the Durham Bulls. When you purchase your ticket through Check Out Nashville, $5 from every ticket sold benefits the Nashville Public Library Foundation and helps support literacy, learning, and community programs across Nashville.

Grab your friends, bring your family, and enjoy an afternoon of baseball for a cause. We'll be gathering in Sections 102 & 103!

A huge thank you to the Metro Council members and city employees who stopped by our table to share their gratitude prior to last week's council meeting. We loved seeing so many heartfelt messages for our dedicated library teams.
