“I like being in the library, surrounded by books, but I’m amazed by all the other things the library is doing. It’s becoming a place for the community to gather.”
--library patron commenting on the opening of the Makerspace

“For a city this size, we have an amazing library. There is always so much going on, of wide interest.”

“Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.”
--Walter Cronkite

“We’re in the curiosity business.”
--Joseph Janes, Professor of Library Science, Univ. of Washington, speaking about public libraries

“We love the library and the summer reading program is a great incentive to keep my daughter reading in the
summer.”

About the 2015 ‘On The Same Page’ title selection, Being Mortal: "Do not hesitate to read this book. I was
reluctant, but I belong to two book clubs that chose to read it so I read it as well. It is well written by a doctor who has experienced what he writes about and uses many scenarios of actual end of life situations. It is surprisingly empowering. You will gain relevant information for you, your family members, others you know. It is well worth reading so much so that I have found myself encouraging many others to read it as well!"
--Pat Hipsher

"We have so enjoyed Storytime for the past two years and have made great friends and playmates there as well. You are the unsung heroes of the Louisville baby/toddler/pre-K crowd!"
