The Library will be closed on July 4 in observance of Independence Day,
and on August 3 and 4 for server maintenance. 

Service Update for Early August

On August 3 and 4, our servers will be moving to their new home. During this time, library services—including printing, catalog searches, checking out and returning, in‑building internet access, and our digital collections—will be temporarily unavailable.

To make the most of this brief disruption, we’ll also be closed to the public for both days so our team can tidy up after a bustling summer and get everything ready for the start of the school year.

In addition, the Superior Community Center is expected to begin construction in early August, and while exact dates are still being finalized, we’ll keep you updated as soon as we know more.

We expect all library services to be restored by the end of the day on August 4. If you need us during the closure, you can still reach us by phone at 303‑335‑4849.

Thanks for your patience and for being such a wonderful part of our library community.

Cultural Services Strategic Plan – We Want Your Voice

Louisville Cultural Services is shaping a new Strategic Plan, and the Library is proud to be part of this community‑wide effort. We’re inviting residents to share their ideas, priorities, and hopes for the future of Library services, programs, and spaces. Your input will help guide how we grow, innovate, and serve Louisville in the years ahead.

Take the online survey, or pick up a paper copy at the Library through the end of August. Your voice matters—thank you for helping shape what comes next.
