Resources for Libraries

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum welcomes the opportunity to partner with libraries and serve their patrons. From providing pop-up activities in Middle Tennessee libraries to video conference programs in library locations far from Nashville, the museum is available to support literacy and community initiatives that connect reading with country music themes, sounds, and artists.

Part of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee?

As part of our Community Counts initiative, all school-age children residing in Davidson, Cheatham, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Wilson, and Williamson counties enter the Museum for free during off school hours. When visiting the Museum with their Littles, Big Brothers and Big Sisters from Middle Tennessee need only present their BBBS of Middle Tennessee identification cards at the Information Desk (located just inside the Museum’s main entrance) to receive free admission. When visiting as a Couples Match, the second Big will receive 25% off adult admission.

Program Options for Libraries

For libraries within a close driving distance to Nashville, the museum may be able to visit with an engaging music or art making program. Programs include the Musical Instrument Petting Zoo, a hands-on music-making experience guided by experts; Songwriting 101, an opportunity to write a song as a group with a professional songwriter; and art-making activities that explore country music themes. Program fees start at $200 for a one hour activity. Request a program at your library here.
