DONATE TODAY TO CREATE A WELCOMING LIBRARY FOR ALL LOUISVILLIANS.

Library super patron, Sara C., says her five-year-old son Julian, is a voracious reader and a keen sensory seeker. He and his family are BIG fans of the new Sensory Kits at the Louisville Free Public Library. Sara says this new resource affirms the welcoming environment she has come to love at LFPL.

“I am just so appreciative because I know that learning looks different for different people - whether through reading, listening, feeling or interacting,” says Sara. “I am obsessed with the library, and this new resource only furthers my love and appreciation."

From sensory kits and large print books, to audio-enabled Wonderbooks, and new bookmobiles, your support ensures that the library reaches readers of every age and ability—wherever they are.

Donors just like you are essential to opening doors to knowledge, imagination, and connection for all. Last year alone, Library Foundation donors helped provide over $1 million to enhance library programs, resources, and outreach efforts.

Thank you for your support.

For more information about how your donation will be put to use, visit https://lfplfoundation.org.

P.S. Celebrate a loved one this holiday season with their name in a library book! If you donate $100 or more, you can honor someone with a personalized bookplate placed inside a new book in the Louisville Free Public Library’s circulating collection. Each time the book is opened, a reader will see your honoree’s name and a note of recognition. To ensure your tribute is notified before December 25, please make your donation by December 5 for a mailed notification or December 12 for an email notification.
