5 Free Ways To Enjoy The Brentwood Public Library

The Brentwood Library hours are currently:

• Monday-Thursday, 9 am to 8 pm
• Friday, 9 am to 6 pm
• Saturday, 10 am to 6 pm
• Sunday, 1 pm to 6 pm

When you step inside the Brentwood Library lobby, you'll see my favorite way to enjoy time there.

 1.  The Magnificent Reading Room:

Behind the colorful stained-glass panels lies a large room with comfortable seating.  The walls are lined with the latest magazines and newspapers from around the world.

I can't subscribe to everything I love to read, so I make a point of trying new magazines out when I visit.

30 minutes of peace and quiet there last this mom a long time!

2.  Huge Audio-Visual Collection:

Did you know you can check out DVDs without charge? 

The Brentwood Library has a separate room just for movies. Its collection houses far more titles than any of the Davidson County branch libraries I've ever seen.

If you have a library card, you can also download digital audio books and music free--without even visiting the Concord Rd. location. 

3.  Community Classes, Computers, and Chess!

The Brentwood Library's designers planned a spacious, modern meeting area.  Now you can take all sorts of free and inexpensive classes there, along with a thriving Chess Club!

4.  The Beautiful Children's Room:

We love to go for storytime, or anytime! 

The tree-lined room has display cases for collections, a fire-engine reading area, and books for every age.

Preschool storytime is open every Tuesday and Thursday at 10 and 11.  There is also a family storytime each Saturday morning at 10:30.

5.  Beautiful Art On Display:

Walking through the library is such an aesthetically pleasing experience, from its stone exterior to the Arts-and-Crafts details.

You'll always spot works by local artists hanging on the walls, like this heirloom quality quilt. 

You can even check out artwork for your own home!
