Civic Groups and Fraternal Groups Many service clubs and civic organizations have made significant contributions to the community. The Nashville Public Library was originally formed as a reading room by the Nashville Women's Club in the 1920's. In 1943 a tax issue was passed and the reading room became a tax supported public library.
