Though the Louisville Free Public Library has nearly two dozen locations around the Louisville area, the most popular is definitely the Main Branch in Downtown Louisville. The Main Branch is located at 3rd and York and is more than 100 years old. More than being one of the largest free resources for books, movies, and music in this area, the Main Branch of the Louisville Free Public Library is also a great place to engage in workshops and activities designed for children and adults alike.
The Main Branch is very architecturally interesting. From the stone columns that support the front of the building to the high ceilings painted in murals just inside of the door, the Main Branch represents the beginning of the amazing architecture just beyond it in Old Louisville. Inside, you'll find art and photographs lining the walls and two floors of books, magazines, movies, music, and computers, all free to Louisville residents and individuals who work in Louisville.
Visitors to the city will enjoy the architecture, sculpture, art, and history that a trip to the Louisville Free Public Library Main Branch provides, and locals will find it a valuable resource as well as a pleasurable place to spend a few hours.
