Saluting the Friends of the Bon Air Library

For some time now, I have been wanting to write about the Friends of the Bon Air Library.

It is an organization that advocates for and supports the Bon Air Library and the Louisville Free Public Library as a whole.   They work closely with the library staff to meet unfulfilled needs.  They have been quite active if not vigilant about what was going to happen to the library during this year's city budget rowdy-dow.

They meet the third Monday of the month at 5:45 pm in the community room of the library.   The basic membership costs $15.00 per year and more information can be found at https://www.friendsofthelfpl.org/store/c1/join.html.

The friends will be having their annual book sale on Saturday and Sunday, August 24-25, 2019.  The proceeds of this sale will go towards supporting the library.


The Bon Air Friends also host a community forum with a number of elected officials every year that is extraordinary. They host the state representatives and metro council members.

While we would like you to join the Bon Air Neighborhood Association as a member, the Friends of the Library is also worthy of your support.  If you cannot be a member, consider visiting the book sale this weekend and buy a used book to support the Bon Air Library.
