If you’re looking for a way to really immerse yourself in the Louisville community, becoming a member of the Louisville Free Public Library is a great option. This longtime area resource is home to thousands of books and other types of reading materials, from periodicals and research books to magazines and historical documents. There is a large children’s section that the little ones will love, and it frequently hosts story times and other family-friendly activities that you’ll have access to with a library card.
The building itself is very large and architecturally beautiful, as Tachau and Pilcher Architects of New York City designed it way back in 1906. There are stone columns out front and intricate décor throughout the inside, while the contemporary North Building, designed by Louis and Henry Architects of Louisville, added on to the library’s campus later on in 1969.
Experience a piece of Louisville history while fostering a love of learning at the Louisville Free Public Library.
