A Great Community Deserves a Great Library Campaign

Regular citizens of Bellevue are working together to inform Metro Council members, the Mayor and Vice Mayor, and other officials of the grass roots support for an expansion and upgrade the facilities of the Bellevue Branch of the Nashville Public Library system.

We invite you to add your voice, too.  All it takes is about an hour's work each month through June 2005 to write some letters or send some emails.  We'll provide the talking points.  You provide your own words and then send out your messages.  

We are also relying on you to spread the news of this effort by word of mouth.  Please let others know of the importance of our mission and how they can help by referring them to this web site.

How to Start
Join our e-mail mailing list
Sign up for your day each month you will send out letters
Refer to the Monthly Instructions.
Each month before your day, prepare a personalized letter or e-mail using your own words to express that month's Talking Points, found below.
On your day, send your letter or email.
If you want, visit our Feedback page and let all of us know what kind of responses you get.
That's it!
