...bringing the library directly to those who need it most.

As the Youth Services Supervisor for the Louisville Free Public Library, Librarian Crystal P. sees firsthand the impact Library Foundation donors make on kids and educators across Louisville every single day.

From the joy of young children at a community festival, to the curiosity of elementary school classes, to the nostalgia of adults reminiscing about their childhood bookmobile experiences, Crystal says the Louisville Free Public Library bookmobile provides a hands-on space where the world opens up.

"Library Foundation donors helped purchase this bookmobile and continue to fill it with the curated books and resources needed to spark a lifetime love of learning for kids across Louisville," says Crystal. "In that way, you ride along with us each time we hit the road."

Thanks to donors like you, the Library Foundation provides over $1 million to enrich the daily work of library staff each year. Your generous giving helps add thousands of books to the shelves, supports critical child literacy initiatives, and enables free cultural enrichment programming for people of all ages across Louisville.

Thank you for your support.
