What makes LFPL a classic?

For our Foundation staff, it’s the people, places, books and experiences that become part of our lives, from Summer Reading and Libby to book club kits, Anime Con, print books and Main Off-Broadway.

Today, Louisville helped us meet our entire $25,000 dollar-for-dollar match. Thank you!

Now we’re working toward our next Give for Good goal: When we reach 275 donors today, the Library Foundation Board of Directors will unlock another $10,500 for Louisville Free Public Library.

Every donor gets us closer, and a gift of any amount counts. Visit GiveForGoodLouisville.org and search for “The Louisville Free Public Library Foundation.”

Some things never go out of style.

And one week from today, you can help keep the classics strong.
On September 10, every Give for Good gift to the Library Foundation will be matched dollar for dollar up to $25,000.

Okay, Main Library… we see you. 👀

The renovation progress is getting exciting. The old stacks have been removed, opening up the building and creating a lot more public space. It’s amazing to see just how much the building is transforming.
