The Friends of Kentucky Libraries are excited to have a table at this year’s event!
This all-day celebration begins around 9:00 a.m. and continues until 3:00 p.m. Highlights include author signings, children’s story times featuring authors reading aloud, illustration workshops for aspiring artists, and much more.
Grab the family, meet your favorite Kentucky authors, browse for books, and get them signed. If you’re anything like us, you’ll leave with far more than one or two books!
The Friends of Kentucky Libraries look forward to meeting fellow book lovers and celebrating Kentucky’s literary community together.
Every quarter your Friends of Kentucky are posting EveryLibrary Institute Friends of the Library Training Slides and/or Videos. The EveryLibrary Institute has provided KDLA with several recorded trainings for Friends of the Library groups.
To view past slide go to Resources and click on Webinars.
