Friends of Kentucky Libraries is delighted to partner with KDLA to host a special presentation and book signing with Kentucky author Kim Michelle Richardson on Tuesday, August 11, 2026. She will be sharing her brand‑new children’s book, My Kentucky Moonlight School, a heartfelt story inspired by Kentucky’s rich history and love of learning.
Following the presentation, she would like to allow 15 minutes for audience Q&A, then will open up for book signing.

This free event is open to the public and will take place from 5:30–7:30pm. More than 100 guests have already registered through Eventbrite, and we look forward to welcoming even more friends, families, and book lovers from across the Commonwealth.
There is an Eventbrite registration page for the book launch to help us track attendance, which you can view here:

Annual Meeting

Each fall, the Friends of Kentucky Libraries holds a meeting to which all FOKL members are invited. Not only do we conduct the business of the Friends of Kentucky Libraries, but we also offer workshops on topics of interest to local Chapters and present our awards for Outstanding Friend of the Library and Outstanding Friends Chapter. Visit our Awards page for information about our winners and learn how to nominate an Outstanding Friend!

Legislative Meet & Greets

The Friends of Kentucky Libraries sponsor an award-winning event each fall that brings together the people who use Kentucky’s libraries and their state and local Legislators, so that no one is left out when it comes to advocating for Kentucky’s libraries and their users.

Library Legislative Day

Each year we encourage our members and friends to participate in Library Legislative Day in Frankfort. The Kentucky Public Library Association provides information about proposed legislation having an impact on libraries, and library supporters visit their legislators to discuss the issues.
