"The new Main Library was envisioned to be a gathering place for the community that would inspire us all to remain curious about our world and to engage in meaningful interchange with our neighbors. Our partnership with Vanderbilt University produced the first series of programs at the library to really capture all of those ideals. The public has responded with delight to the concepts and content of the series. 'Thinking Out of the Lunch Box' has been a huge success for all parties involved."

-- Donna Nicely
Nashville Public Library Director

"This partnership between Vanderbilt and the Nashville Public Library is a great gem. Downtown is a place for business, entertainment and, now, intellectual excitement. It is a great example of university-community partnership."

--Mike Schoenfeld
Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs
