NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — There is now a tentative opening date for the Nashville Public Library's downtown location!

The Main Library, located at 615 Church Street is scheduled to open Monday, March 30.

This is pending a final Fire Marshal and Metro Codes inspection required before Library staff can reoccupy the building.

The library has been closed since June 2025 after a fire in the parking garage forced the building's closure.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
