Nashvillians can take home local artwork for free during the second phase of the Nashville Public Library's lending library program, beginning this week.

Why it matters: The extremely popular initiative lets library members borrow pieces created by local artists for three months at a time.

How it works: The latest batch of artwork includes 53 pieces, which will be available at seven library branches: East, Donelson, Green Hills, Hermitage, Old Hickory, Madison and Southeast.
