Books may be the main event, but a Library’s got to look and feel its best too, yo. Louisville’s West branch will swing open its shiny, new doors this Saturday, September 8th following renovations of the historic space.
Habitat, in my oh-so-incredibly-humble opinion, is an unsung part of the soul. I can hear your objections rumbling; listen: the essence of a space is not made on $9.95 knick-knacks and strategic throw pillows. We humans are careful little magpies when it comes to snatching up decorative...

Feeling the call of your inner soothsayer? Get a heads up on the near future with the new Louisville Library series ‘What’s Next’. Join University of Louisville professor Dr. Keith Mountain for a look at the landscape of climate change this Thursday, September 6th, at 7pm at the Library’s Main branch.

The newest and greenest member of the Louisville Library introduces an environmentally-minded lecture and workshop series, ‘A Sense of Place: The Natural Areas of Jefferson County’. Join National Weather Service representatives Mike Callahan tonight at 7pm at the Fairdale branch and Mike Crow at Jefferson Memorial Forest on Saturday as the duo discusses weather of the Ohio Valley.

Canning vegetables isn’t just for Grandma. With the presentation ‘Preserving Food the Old-Fashioned Way’ local writer and foodie Jeneen Whiche shares a hosts of food-saving secrets this Saturday, August 4th at the Louisville Free Public Library at 1pm.
My kitchen is a monument to gadgetry. Although deceptively quaint at first glance, the old-world charm of Café Day is full of hidden whirring, buzzing contraptions with lots of nice buttons eagerly awaiting the intrepid fingers of culinary genius. And by “culinary genius” we...
