An Evening with Local Mystery Author Emily Littlejohn

Library Program for Adults | Friday, 10/17 | 7-8:30 p.m. | Library, 951 Spruce Street

Join us for an evening with Colorado Book Award finalist and local author Emily Littlejohn as she delves into her Gemma Monroe mystery series. "Inherit the Bones", the first book in this four-part series, received high praise upon its release in 2017. Real Simple magazine described it as “the perfect page-turner,” while acclaimed author Margaret Coel called it “compelling writing, a stunning setting in a Colorado ski town, a plot that twists with surprises, and a police deputy who happens to be six months pregnant—I loved all of it.”
This is a free program, but registration is required. 

Fall StoryWalk©

Read the picture book "Acorn Was a Little Wild" by Jen Arena on signs posted along the paved path of Community Park. Join us on October 7 from 4:00-4:30 p.m. for a craft, or visit anytime the park is open. The signs will be up through November 2.
This StoryWalk© is a partnership between the Louisville Public Library and the Louisville Recreation & Senior Center.

Read to Rover

Every Tuesday afternoon, local children head to the Louisville Public Library to spend some time reading to an enthusiastic audience: therapy dogs. The popular Read to Rover program, which has been a regular feature at the Library since 2011, attracts young people who want to improve their reading confidence and hang out with adorable pups.
