    @
    Meeting Room

    Bethesda and Surroundings Communities by Rick Warwick presents a history told with personal interviews by those who grew up in the southern part of Williamson County. Period photographs are included to enrich the narratives of those telling their life stories. Histories of schools, churches, country stores, physicians, fraternal organizations, and local postmasters supplement the interviews in more detail. The early families settled largely on the North Carolina land grant of 4,800 acres belonging to Dr. Joseph Blythe, a Revolutionary War veteran. A section entitled Faces of the Past offers an insight into the physical appearances of those who once called this area home. Photos, screenshots, and videos may be taken at library events and activities for library use and publicity. Anyone not wanting to have their photo taken should notify library staff at the time of the event or activity.

    October 13, 2023, 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
    @
    Learning Center

    Caring for a person with dementia requires different techniques than those needed to care for someone who is not cognitively impaired. Alzheimer’s Association support groups encourage attendees to share information, give and receive mutual support and exchange coping skills. Attendees can offer practical suggestions based on their own experiences that may make caregiving easier. Sharing those ideas in a support group can prevent caregivers from “reinventing the wheel.”

    Our Caregivers Support Group is free and facilitated by a trained Alzheimer’s Association volunteer. We meet at 10 a.m. the 2nd Friday every month in the Learning Center on the 2nd floor. Registration not required.

    For more information, contact Seth Zamek at (803) 517-9489 or the Library at (615) 595-1243.

    The views expressed in this program are of those of the presenters and do not necessarily reflect the official policy, position, or opinions of the Williamson County Public Library.

    Fancy Women of Smokey Row: Prostitution in the Civil War Lecture presented by Brandon Hulette, Military Historian and Vanderbilt Professor This talk delves into the history of the Army’s struggle to address the issue of prostitution, including law enforcement efforts, attempts to export prostitutes, and finally becoming the first city to legalize prostitution in this period. With legalization came improved health and the emergence of legal brothels that catered to all soldiers' needs as well as prominent figures building empires from the once illicit trade such as the infamous Mollie May. We’ll discuss how all of this came to be, the stories of the people involved, and the locations in Nashville where legal prostitution took place.

  20. True Crime Book Club: The Last Ride

    October 31, 2023, 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM

    The Last Ride: Murder, Money, and the Sensational Trial that Captivated Nashville by Martha S. Tate is the first book written about the murder of prominent Nashville citizen W. Haynie Gourley on May 24, 1968, and the controversial trial during the summer of 1969. The book traces the circumstances leading up to the killing of the popular, self-made millionaire auto dealer, the extensive manhunt, police investigation, and the improbable grand jury indictment of a popular former college football star. For the first time, the author pieces together the events and evidence that bring into question the outcome of this notorious case.

    Covered obsessively by local broadcast TV stations and the two daily newspapers, The Nashville Banner and The Tennessean, this was Nashville’s most publicized trial with both daily papers printing the entire transcript of the trial. The story still fascinates as one is left to wonder whether or not justice was served in the end.
