It's fall, y'all!
As the season changes, we hope that you will have time to curl up with a good book, or join us in one of our upcoming programs. The library is open limited hours for you to come in and check out books, DVDs, audios, etc. Plus, many things are happening virtually! We are still doing craft programs, book discussions, and storytimes -- we're just getting together on Zoom or Facebook to do so. We frequently have new content and great videos on our Facebook pages. Check it out!

We have also made some changes to our digital collection and online resources. We recently combined two of our digital audiobook collections, making it easier for you to find a great book to listen to -- check out KY Libraries Unbound or the Libby mobile app for that larger-than-ever collection. And we have added a brand new resource called Creativebug, which provides access to award-winning art & craft video classes. It's a top-notch resource for learning how to knit, sew, draw, paint, embroider, and so much more!
