Description	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. TODAY, LIMITLESS LIBRARIES SHARES THE PUBLIC LIBRARY'S RESOURCES WITH THE 81,000 STUDENTS IN ALL 128 METRO NASHVILLE PUBLIC ELEMENTARY, MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS BY DELIVERING THEM DIRECTLY TO SCHOOL LIBRARIES. RECOGNIZED AS A 2013 TOP INNOVATOR BY THE URBAN LIBRARIES COUNCIL, LAST YEAR MORE THAN 215,000 NPL ITEMS CIRCULATED THROUGH LIMITLESS LIBRARIES, A 174 PERCENT INCREASE FROM 2012. WITH CIRCULATION EXCEEDING THAT OF SEVERAL MID-SIZED BRANCHES, LIMITLESS LIBRARIES HAS PROMPTED 30,000 NEW STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO BECOME LIBRARY CARDHOLDERS. INSPIRED BY THIS SUCCESSFUL PARTNERSHIP AND EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURCES, A GENEROUS DONOR GAVE $500,000 TO RENOVATE AND EXPAND HILLWOOD HIGH SCHOOL'S LIBRARY WHICH OPENED IN AUGUST 2012. STUDENTS NOW ENJOY 10,000 SQUARE FEET OF TECH-SAVVY, MODERN SPACE THAT INCLUDES ADDITIONAL BOOKS, INTERACTIVE STUDY ROOMS, A CAFE AND IPAD STATIONS TO HELP PREPARE THEM FOR THE FUTURE. ADDITIONALLY, ANOTHER DONOR MADE A GIFT OF $700,000 OVER 2 YEARS TO PURCHASE ADDITIONAL NPL BOOKS AND MATERIALS RELEVANT TO STUDENT'S EVER INCREASING NEEDS.	Description

Description	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 700 TEACHERS AND ARMED MORE THAN 800 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 95 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 27,000 CHILDREN AND SCHOOL GROUPS. THE LIBRARY'S INVENTIVE STORYTELLING BRINGS BOOKS TO LIFE AND INSPIRES LITERACY. LIZ CARTER'S PRESCHOOL CLASS AT VICTORY LEARNING CENTER IN SOUTH NASHVILLE FELL IN LOVE WITH BBTL'S ANANSI THE SPIDER PRESENTATION AND LITERACY KIT. "WE READ EVERY BOOK IN THE KIT, HUNG THE SPIDER WEB, LEARNED ALL ABOUT SPIDERS AND DANCED TO THE CDS FOR TWO WEEKS," SAID LIZ. "THE WHOLE SUBJECT MATTER KEPT BLOSSOMING INTO NEW IDEAS. WE MADE WEB PAINTINGS, MULTI-COLORED ANANSI SPIDERS, AND EVEN CREATED A SCIENCE LESSON ABOUT SPINNERETS AND STICKY WEBS!"	Description
