Nashville Public Library Green Hills Branch

Love the library! Huge selection of new books, DVDs and CDs. You can order anything in the library system and they will send it to your branch. I haven’t tried any of the free activities yet but that will probably change soon. Great library system

The super duper bargain of Green Hills. Get free best sellers, latest movies and books online. It has lovely little park nearby. Lots of comfy chairs and friendly staff. Adding Starbucks would be awesome. Love it!

Nice ppl

I don’t understand why more people don’t utilize the library! Borrowed books and DVD’s that are free! And with online services, it’s easier than ever. But I digress… the Green Hills branch has one of the best book selections in Nashville without going downtown. I can always find a book at this location, and thoroughly enjoy my visits here! The place is vibrant and well maintained (take note Richland Branch!!) and is ideal for browsing the shelves for extended periods of time.
They also have a good selection of computers to use, that are never overly crowded unlike some of the other locations.
Just a library FYI… you can request a book online and have it delivered to any location. The library will then call you to let you know it’s ready for pick up, so when you visit, just look for your name, pick it up and go! You don’t even have to go try to search for it in the shelves! It doesn’t get much easier than that. For non readers, they also do the same with DVD’s and have a variety of classics that you can’t get a redbox or instant stream on Netflix.
So what’s your excuse? Visit the library and get happy!

How did it take me FOUR YEARS of living in Nashville to discover their excellent library system? I stopped in the Green Hills Branch to sign up for my card and the employees there were incredibly friendly and helpful. I love that their system is so up-​to-​date: you check out your own books using one of many kiosks, you can order books sent from any branch to the branch most convenient to you ONLINE, and you can check out e-​books! Plus you get email reminders for due dates and to notify you when a book you’ve requested is available.
On the Green Hills Branch specifically, this is a large branch with a great selection of wares-​most times I can find what I’m looking for physically at this location without having to request them. Lots of computers for use here, a great separate kids area, and they have some separate quiet study rooms.

When I went to Lipscomb University, I frequented this library because it was within walking distance and it’s never too crowded there. Their selection of books and movies can sometimes be hit or miss, but I almost always find something to bring home without having to reserve it first. Also, very pristine building! (It is in Green Hills.)

Great place to get work done if you need to get away and don’t want to pay $ 5 for coffee. #in

The new Green Hills branch is a reader’s dream. It’s well organized, nicely maintaned and very easy to navigate. There is a vast amount of computer space and rarely any lines. They have a huge collection of CDs, DVDs, and VHS. You can of course order any of these and have them put on hold, but sometimes it’s nice to just be able to walk in and pick them up. It has great hours: M-​Th 9:30−8; Sat 9 – 5; Sun 2 – 5; and closed Fridays. They also have numerous of programs ranging from storytelling sessions to «After School Snack Attack» sessions for Grades 7 – 12. This branch is also idea for research, there is plenty of room near the reference books to spead out and get deep into your work.

The Green Hills Library is housed in a large new building just off of Hillsboro Pike. If you live nearby, this library would be a great place to come and study, thanks to the many large wooden tables by the windows and comfy reading chairs distributed throughout. Actually, the setup of this library reminds me a lot of the one at the college I went to. They have a great selection of adult fiction and nonfiction books, DVDs, audio books, and a small music section.
What really makes the Green Hills Branch unique is the children’s section. It’s HUGE! Since kids get their own separate room, parents don’t have to worry as much if their children make a little noise. There’s even a designated «Toddler Computer,» which evokes funny images in my head. Speaking of computers, Green Hills has over 30 public computers, so hopefully that means the wait is never long.
If you like to own books as well as borrow them from the library, Green Hills has a great biannual book sale for a few days every May and October. Adult books cost $ 0.50, children’s are $ 0.25, and there’s also a decent free section.
Once you’ve picked out your books, you can grab some fruit to munch on at the nearby Green Hills Farmers Market, find a bench at the Sally Brewman Green Hills Park next to the library, and get lost in a good book.

Is it a Blockbuster? Is it a Barnes and Noble? No, it’s the Green Hills library.
I think that good libraries are very under appreciated in these times. Fortunately Nashville has a batch of very good libraries, and the Green hills branch is definitely one of them. There are lots of computers available for use, and they also offer printing, which is a bonus.
Of course, they are pretty current on the regular selection of publications too, including mags, and books.

This is a fantastic branch of the Nashville Public Library. it’s the first library in Nashville I went to, and it was a lifesaver for trying to find a job. There are plenty of computer workstations and printers to use. Computer use is free (you do have to sign up) and you have to buy a print card for the printers, but it was so great to be able to come here and search for jobs, and print resumes and cover letters.
I could always come and find some worthwhile CDs or movies to pick up. I usually come here for audiobooks for long trips as well. The building itself is amazing; I would say it’s new, but I guess it’s been open for longer than 8 years. There’s also a very nice park right outside. The library is tucked away in Green Hills but still easy to get to. I’ve also sat and read at the library before which I don’t do a lot, but it was great to find a quiet spot to read here.
I think one of the best things about this branch is the Friends of the Library booksales. You can check the library website for dates and times; I think there are two a year, one in spring and one in fall. Always a great selection of books; lots of donations as well as library discards. The last day of the sale they have a bag sale and everything you can stuff in a grocery bag is yours on the cheap!

The Green Hills branch of the Nashville Public Library is a good library, but get ready for some frustration. Their in house selection is small. Very seldom is the book I’m looking for at this branch. It is really no trouble requesting the book to be sent to the branch and it usually arrives in a couple of days. But, if you go to the Green Hills branch looking for a particular book, and can’t wait to curl up and read it that night, you’re probably going to be disappointed! No instant gratification here.
The library is neat, clean, and laid out well. You can easily peruse the shelves and they have great staff recommendation displays. The staff is so helpful, so if you’re confused on how the system of requesting books and/​or check out works, no worries!
I agree with Robin and love the fact that the entire check out/​renewal system is on computer. Just scan your card and you’re on your way! The best thing about this system is that they email you a reminder a couple of days before your book is due. No late fees! And you can log on to the web site from home and renew it with a simple click! Talk about convenience!
They have two study room for students needing quiet and solitude. Big tables with lots of chairs for delving into the textbooks. I shudder to remember those days! The children’s area is wonderful and the afternoon read alouds the library offers are innovative and imaginative. Lots of creative thinking here. The schedule changes, so just pick up a brochure or ask someone.
I could spend an afternoon here just looking through the books. Aah, books! Just know you might leave empty handed, but eagerly awaiting your latest must read’s arrival.

I tend to like libraries, since I really enjoy reading and writing, but I especially like the Green Hills branch. It’s a newer building (several years old) and has the most up to date technology and check-​out systems.
Actually, the entire public library system is accessible on their website – I look up books and put them on hold, then all you have to do is go to the branch and go to the self check-​out (no need to wait for a librarian to help you!).
This location has over 30 public computers for use as well, if you don’t own one or yours is in the «shop». Nice to be able to have a quiet place to go!
It’s a great place to take kids – they often have children’s activities during the day and on weekends. Babysitter’s dream! I also like this location because the clientele is decidedly more upscale – you don’t get the riff raff like you would at other locations.
The Green Hills Library is a weekly stop for me, and will continue to be!
