from On Track · host Louisville Public Media
The Louisville Free Public Library nearly lost two branch locations and $2.26 million from its overall library funding under Mayor Greg Fischer's proposed budget cuts. Lawmakers ultimately approved less drastic reductions, but the library system will still have to close its branch location in Fern Creek and curtail services. We talk with officials about the system's services, and why they are calling for public support ahead of their expected challenges. Our guests were: Louisville Free Public Library Director Lee Burchfield Educational Justice Coordinator Katelyn Robalino Library Foundation Executive Director Chandra Gordon Click here to support the work we do: https://wfpl.org/supportinconversation.
