NPLF HAS BEEN PART OF THE LIBRARY'S PHENOMENAL SUCCESS SINCE 1997. SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THIS THRIVING PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT FUNDING AND PRIVATE PHILANTHROPY, THE FOUNDATION HAS PROVIDED FUNDS FOR THE LIBRARY'S COLLECTIONS AND RAISED MORE THAN $41 MILLION FROM PRIVATE DONORS FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS AND FREE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, EXHIBITS AND CONCERTS. IN ADDITION TO ENHANCING SPACES AT THE MAIN LIBRARY LIKE THE EXQUISITE GRAND READING ROOM AND BEAUTIFUL COURTYARD, NPLF HAS INVESTED IN THE CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL LIFE OF EVERY NASHVILLIAN BY UPDATING TEEN CENTERS AT MAIN AND SEVERAL BRANCHES, ADDING MORE THAN 150,000 BOOKS (IN ALL FORMATS), AND PROVIDING ENLIGHTENING, THOUGHT-PROVOKING EXPERIENCES FOR LEARNERS OF ALL AGES. 0 0 426094 BRINGING BOOKS TO LIFE IS AN AWARD-WINNING PRE-LITERACY PROGRAM THAT HELPS TEACHERS AND PARENTS FOSTER A LOVE OF READING IN CHILDREN THROUGH TEACHER TRAINING, FAMILY LITERACY PROGRAMS AND STORY-RELATED CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES. LAST YEAR, BBTL TRAINED MORE THAN 600 TEACHERS AND ARMED MORE THAN 1,200 PARENTS WITH THE LITERACY TOOLS NEEDED TO INSPIRE READING BOTH AT HOME AND IN THE CLASSROOM. AFTER COMPLETING THE PROGRAM, 99 PERCENT OF SURVEYED PARENTS WERE MORE INCLINED TO USE THE LIBRARY AS A RESOURCE AND 100 PERCENT WERE INSPIRED TO ENGAGE IN MORE LITERACY-RELATED ACTIVITIES WITH THEIR CHILDREN. BBTL REWARDS CHILDREN, TEACHERS AND FAMILIES WITH A VISIT FROM THE PUPPET TRUCK - A MOBILE PUPPET SHOW. THE PUPPET TRUCK EXTENDS THE REACH OF THE LIBRARY BY TAKING LITERATURE-BASED PUPPET SHOWS ON THE ROAD TO REACH MORE THAN 52,000 CHILDREN AND SCHOOL GROUPS. THE LIBRARY'S INVENTIVE STORYTELLING BRINGS BOOKS TO LIFE AND INSPIRES LITERACY. JEANNE MCGEHEE, LITERACY COACH AT EAST NASHVILLE'S FANNIE BATTLE DAY HOME, HAS WORKED WITH BBTL SINCE 2004 AND BELIEVES IN THE PROGRAM'S ABILITY TO EMPOWER BOTH CHILDREN AND PARENTS TO BE READERS. "THE BBTL TEAM IS SO WELL-PREPARED AND ALWAYS COMES WITH NEW AND INTERESTING MATERIALS FOR OUR PARENTS AND BOOKS FOR THE CHILDREN," JEANNE SAYS. AND THE PUPPET TRUCK ... I JUST CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE RESOURCE AND THINK IT'S ONE OF THE BEST IN THE U.S. A LOT OF THESE CHILDREN WOULD NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE LIBRARY TO SEE THOSE SHOWS, AND TO BRING THAT EXPERIENCE TO THE CHILDREN IS JUST AMAZING." 352027 LIMITLESS LIBRARIES STARTED IN 2009 AS A PILOT PROJECT LED BY MAYOR KARL DEAN TO PROVIDE FOUR METRO NASHVILLE PUBLIC (MNPS) HIGH SCHOOLS WITH ACCESS TO NEARLY 2 MILLION NASHVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY BOOKS AND MATERIALS.
