Local libraries to take a hit in KY budget | Kentucky, General Assembly 2018, Matt Bevin, budget, library,

The bookmobile is one service of local public libraries.

Librarians across the state of Kentucky are expressing alarm about Governor Bevin's budget.

If not changed, all state funds to public libraries will stop. That could mean the doors will close at some locations.

Libraries support early childhood literacy, education, and strong workforce development in all counties.

Legislative Day in Frankfort for library supporters is Thursday, February 15th.

Supporters are being urged to contact their legislators by calling the legislative hotline 1-800-372-7181
