With a donation of $100 or more, you can honor a loved one, mentor, or friend with a personalized bookplate placed inside a new book in the Louisville Free Public Library’s circulating collection. Each bookplate includes your honoree’s name and a note of recognition, becoming a lasting tribute discovered by readers for years to come.

Your gift doesn’t just mark a page—it helps write the next chapter for our library. Every donation supports new books, programs, and resources that inspire learning and connection across our community.

Important Dates
To ensure your honoree receives a notification by Dec. 25 We must receive your gift by:

• Mail notification delivery deadline: Your donation must be received by Friday, December 5
• Email notification delivery deadline: Your donation must be submit by Tuesday, December 12

This campaign offers a meaningful alternative to traditional gift-giving—perfect for someone who “has everything” or anyone who believes in the power of stories to bring people together.

Share the joy of reading. Honor someone you love with a Library Foundation bookplate.
