With our final community location opening its doors, all 21 NPL location are offering walk-in service. We're so glad to see you in person! Kindly follow safety requirements for the benefit of all our customers and staff members.
Mask Mandate Reimplementation
As of August 5, 2021, Metro Government reimplemented masking inside Metro buildings to protect the public and city employees so Metro can continue to deliver quality services to residents.
Consistent with CDC evidence of transmission by vaccinated persons, face coverings are required for both unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals while inside Metro buildings, including all Nashville Public Library locations.
The executive order applies to both Metro employees as well as members of the public.
