FirstBank was excited to partner with Edgar Evans State Park, UT Extension, 911 and the Girl Scouts in the Adams Memorial Library Summer Reading Program. Each summer, the Tennessee State Library and Archives sponsors a statewide reading program. By providing all Tennessee public libraries with materials to promote and present a summer reading program in their library, the Tennessee State Library and Archives helps communities encourage reading during the pivotal summer months. All libraries also receive a manual packed with fun, creative, and literary ideas based around the theme of each summer’s reading program.FirstBank is the third largest Tennessee-based bank, with 54 locations across the Southeast. The bank, headquartered in Lexington, Tenn., serves every major metropolitan market in the state and, with more than $2 billion in total assets, has the resources to provide a comprehensive variety of financial services and products.
FirstBank follows a community-banking model which began when the charter was issued in 1906 as Farmers State Bank, in Scotts Hill, Tenn. As Tennessee’s premier community bank, FirstBank is committed to its role as a leader in the communities it serves. That commitment is reflected by the Ayers Foundation Scholars program, a scholarship fund established by FirstBank Chairman and sole shareholder James W. Ayers to advance higher education for young people in Tennessee.
