The Louisville Free Public Library Foundation

SOME THINGS NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE.
A story you can’t put down. A welcoming place to learn, connect, and belong. The freedom to explore a new idea—or return to an old favorite. These are the experiences that make the Library a Louisville classic. And for many of our neighbors, they represent something even greater: access to books, information, and opportunity they might not otherwise have.

The Library Foundation family of supporters knows that the best classics are meant to be shared. That’s why we are inviting you to celebrate a true Louisville CLASSIC during Give for Good Louisville. When you give to the Library Foundation, your generosity creates more stories to discover, more opportunities to connect, and more reasons for our community to keep coming back.

Help keep these Louisville classics going strong during Give for Good Louisville.
From beloved traditions to new community favorites, LFPL programs open doors to learning, connection, and joy for people of every age. Here are just a few of the ways your gift enriches LFPL:

↪ Summer Reading keeps young minds active, builds confident readers, and helps prevent learning loss while school is out.

↪ The Bookmobile brings books, resources, and the Library experience directly to neighbors who cannot easily visit a branch.

↪ Storytime helps little learners build early literacy, language, and social-emotional skills—one story at a time.

↪ Books & Brews 502 brings adults together around great reads, fresh ideas, and meaningful community connections.

↪ The How-To Festival is a Louisville original where curious people of all ages can learn something new, share what they know, and connect with one another.
