LA VERGNE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Families that are members of the La Vergne Public Library are now able to visit the Smyrna Outdoor Adventure Center and Discovery Center in Murfreesboro for free.
Ginger Levinson, a recent master’s graduate and La Vergne High School graduate, was instrumental in bringing the resources to the La Vergne community.
Levinson believes that every child deserves access to environmental conservation education and this outreach effort was part of her master’s research and action project.
“We’ve never had anything like this before,” says Library Director Donna Bebout. “This gives our patrons the opportunity to visit these places to go, explore, and learn. We are so thankful to Ginger and her initiative to help support not only our library but our La Vergne community.”
Families interested in using these resources at the Smyrna Outdoor Adventure Center and Discovery Center in Murfreesboro are encouraged to check out the passes beginning April 1.
The passes can only be checked out for a week at a time, are valid for two adults and up to four children, and must be returned to the library similar to a checked out book. Parents must be members of the La Vergne Public Library to check out the passes.
Membership cards are free.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
