Can Nashville's Library Wellness Programs Survive?

Amid budget cuts, the Nashville Public Library has reduced some of its community wellness classes. These classes come at no cost and have been widely popular, serving a diverse range of Nashville residents. Host Marie Cecile Anderson chats with Liz Veyhl of Small World Yoga to explore the impact of BeWell's wellness programs on Nashville communities. They address the funding shortfall threatening these services and Liz's grassroots efforts to ensure their continuity. If you'd like to donate to cover operating costs for Small World Yoga at all 21 library branches through the first half of 2025, you can do so here.
