Arvelisse Bonilla Ramos writes: “When Bonnie and Barry Augustine moved to the Nashville, Tennessee, suburb of Donelson in 1980, they found a quiet neighborhood—too quiet. But Donelson has boomed since then, along with Nashville itself. One major sign of its transformation is the opening of the new Donelson branch of Nashville Public Library in June 2024. Sited in the middle of a once-sleepy 1960s strip mall, the 25,000-square-foot facility has an ambitious goal: to serve as a vibrant community anchor for an older first-suburb that has long lacked a traditional downtown.”
