A brand new St. Matthews Eline Library will open on May 9 and you are invited to the celebration!
With 7,800 square feet of additional space, the now 19,000-square-foot library will house more than 70,000 books and feature a large meeting room with seating for 100, a small conference room, a space for teens, an outdoor children’s area, and new technology— including self-checkout stations. A new entrance with glass façade will fill the space with an abundance of natural light, and services will be on one level for easy access for all members of the community.
Renovation of the St. Matthews Library was spearheaded by St. Matthews Mayor Rick Tonini and the St. Matthews City Council as part of a comprehensive $10 million project to remodel the St. Matthews City Hall and Police headquarters. Louisville Metro Government contributed $1 million towards the library portion of the project.
The community is invited to come celebrate the grand opening with Mayor Tonini and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer on Thursday, May 9 at 10:00 a.m. The library is located at 3940 Grandview Ave. There will be tours of the library, refreshments, and activities for the whole family. The grand opening event is free and open to the public. Please join us!
