The Little Free Library on 19th Avenue South is open to the public. Leave a book to share or take a book to read.
by Tonia Klein, USNA president
Have you noticed anything new on 19th Avenue? Sitting in front of the Outdoor Classroom is USN’s new Little Free Library. Generously built and donated by USN parent Carrington Fox, the Little Free Library was unveiled by 2019 Fall Book Frenzy Chairs Nicole Brod and Jennifer Aaron on Monday, April 22. Registered on Little Free Library's worldwide map, it has already become a popular stop within the neighborhood. Take a look, and remember to “Take a book and Share a book.”
Thank you for all the children's, middle grade, and young adult books donated during the Fall Book Frenzy spring book drive. We are no longer taking donations and will have another collection in September.
Students were treated to a visit from Maria Zoccola, our 2025-2026 Author in Residence. Zoccola is a bestselling poet whose most recent collection is "Helen of Troy,1993."
Rodney Crowell, two-time Grammy winner and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member, will perform a full set on Saturday, April 11, for Music Night, our annual adult-only concert in Durnan Auditorium. Tickets are available now for this fundraiser, which supports the arts and athletics at USN.
USN Mission: University School of Nashville models the best educational practices. In an environment that represents the cultural and ethnic composition of Metropolitan Nashville, USN fosters each student’s intellectual, artistic, and athletic potential, valuing and inspiring integrity, creative expression, a love of learning, and the pursuit of excellence.
