Please know that closing the libraries was not an easy decision, but one that was made to ensure the wellbeing of the community and the library staff during this pandemic.

We want to continue to serve the community as long as possible with the following services:

Wi-Fi will be available outside the buildings as usual.

The Tennessee READS Digital Downloads is available at all times for audiobooks, ebooks and other online materials by going to the link on our website at dekalblibraries.net. You need an active library card for use.  There are special options on the READS site for those they do not have library cards. The Tennessee Electronic Library (TEL) is also available.

You can renew and reserve materials by logging into your account on our website or calling the library at 615-597-4359 Monday through Friday from 8:30 am until 5:00 pm. If you reserve an item we will call you and assign a time for curb side pickup during our revised hours at Justin Potter Library. All items can be returned in our outside book drops. Fines will be waived during the time the libraries are closed for this situation. Please check us out on Facebook for more information.

Thank you for your understanding during this health crisis in our country. We can get through this difficult time if we all work together, stay calm, keep informed and be respectful of each other.
