A MESSAGE FOR THE COMMUNITY
The Library Foundation joins our friends and colleagues in Louisville and across the nation in the battle against overt and systemic racism. The Library Foundation staff, volunteers and donors understand that education and knowledge are powerful weapons against ignorance, hate and racism. By continuously advocating for public dollars and soliciting private donor dollars in support of the Louisville Free Public Library system, we are committed to ensuring the future of an institution vital in combating racism – an institution that serves all people in all areas of our community.

We will continue to follow the recommendations from the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness as well as state public health officials and will continue to keep you informed as we make decisions concerning future events.
