We can all agree the old Louisville Free Public Library website was in need of a little TLC. After all, it had been 16 years since the last update. But as of Monday, July 31, its new website is a modern work of art.

Aside from a new clean and mobile-friendly design, it has six drop-down tabs that can get you where you need to go — from streaming movies and TV to helping you explore your family history.

Here’s what else is new:

  • Search bar that can be toggled between the library’s catalog and website
  • Accessibility features like language translation and button to increase font size
  • Customizable events calendar
  • Dedicated pages for kids, teens, and adults to explore programs and activities
  • Room booking module to reserve a meeting room online versus calling a branch to check for availability — which will be up and running in a month or so

Don’t have a library card? We’d say you’re overdue.
