CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Library Director Martha Hendricks gave County Commissioners a sneak peak at the future North Clarksville Library Branch last week at their informal meeting, presenting the newest design images for the popular project.
The new library branch, which is to be built at 435 Jordan Road near the intersection of Purple Heart Parkway, was put on hold early last year due to concerns surrounding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the county’s budget.
The project is being considered for re-inclusion in the county’s 2021-22 budget. Hendrick’s said she is hopeful the popular project will be able to move forward.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – In an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19, the Clarksville-Montgomery County Public Library has closed the computer lab and meeting rooms within the library until Feb. 10 due to eight confirmed cases of the virus on Tuesday.
Patrons will still be allowed to browse the bookshelves and check out books until February, and all in-person services and programming at the library have been on hold since March 18, 202o, according to a news release from county spokeswoman Michelle Newell.
“We have followed all guidelines outlined by County Government requiring all employees and patrons to wear masks and our employees maintain a 6-foot distance or greater from all patrons. Contact with patrons is extremely minimal mostly due to technological advances that were implemented a few years ago. We decided to take extra caution and temporarily close the meeting rooms and the computer lab,” Libra
