Another Way is designed to address the gap in the labor market by providing individuals with visible needs opportunities to gain job skills and work-based learning opportunities rather than ask the public for money at stoplights and other rights of way.

LFPL’s Summer Reading Program has been a Louisville tradition for nearly a century, helping children and teens avoid summer learning loss by encouraging them to read for fun by offering prizes and incentives.

To complete the program, school-aged children need to read ten books, teens read six books, and preschool-aged children and younger need to read, or have read to them, 20 books. Everyone who completes the program will receive an alien pencil pouch (kids) or tech bag (teens), as well as coupons for free treats from Ehrler’s Ice Cream and Fazoli’s, and free passes to area attractions like Kentucky Science Center, Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, Squire Boone Caverns, Louisville Bats Baseball, Racing Louisville FC, select UofL sports, and more.
LFPL’s Summer Reading Program is presented by the Library Foundation and is absolutely FREE. Participants can register online at LFPL.org/SummerReading, or stop by any Louisville Free Public Library location between now and August 3.

The Louisville Metro Police Foundation is partnering with the Victim Services Unit and 911 Cell Phone Bank (911cellphonebank.org) to conduct a cell phone drive. 911 Cell Phone Bank collects used working and non-working/broken cell phones, resets the devices to factory settings, guarantees complete data erasure and if they cannot erase the data, the device gets recycled through a licensed R2 recycler to keep the e-waste out of landfills, and provides the phones to law enforcement and victim services agencies for distribution to vulnerable residents in communities nationwide. Donating your old cell phone is a way to support the work of 911 Cell Phone Bank and give back to our community by ensuring victims of crime have meaningful access to emergency services. Cell phone drop boxes will be located at all National Night Out (8/6/2024 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.) locations to include the following:

In addition to providing shade and beautifying neighborhoods, trees are powerful tools to slow down and soak up stormwater. This helps reduce erosion and improve water quality in Louisville’s waterways. These are just some of the reasons why MSD works with local organizations, neighborhood associations, and residents to plant 1000 trees each year. They hope you will consider being one of their tree planting partners this upcoming planting season!
MSD’s Urban Reforestation Grant Program is open to residents, organizations, companies, and agencies to support tree planting projects in MSD’s Jefferson County Drainage Service area. This includes all of Jefferson County except for the cities of Shively, Jeffersontown, St. Matthews and Anchorage. Please see the program guidelines and application in the attachment. The deadline to apply is Thursday August 1st at 5pm ET.
Please contact trees@louisvillemsd.org or call (502)540-6022 with any questions.

 The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness (LMPHW) has found mosquitoes infected with West Nile virus in surveillance traps in three more ZIP codes: 40202, 40212 and 40215. To help prevent infection and reduce the mosquito population, mosquito fogging took place this week in the areas of Portland, Downtown Louisville and Churchill Downs. Earlier this month, positive mosquitoes were found in the neighborhoods of Park DuValle, California and Old Louisville.
After mosquitoes test positive for West Nile virus, fogging occurs within the next 7 to 10 business days, weather permitting. Fogging occurs in the early morning or early evening hours. The Department of Public Health and Wellness uses an ultra-low volume fogging machine that disperses an insecticide that is very low in toxicity and odor. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Kentucky Department of Agriculture recognize the product as safe to use without posing unreasonable risks to human health.
Though West Nile virus has been detected in mosquitoes this year, so far, no human cases have been reported in Jefferson County.
“No matter what ZIP code you live in, we encourage you to protect yourself and your family from mosquitoes,” said Louisville’s Chief Health Strategist Connie Mendel.
To check if your area will be fogged visit the department’s website or call the mosquito hotline, 502-574-6641. To make a complaint about mosquitos in your neighborhood call Metro311 by dialing 311 or 502-574-5000.
You can learn more about how to prevent mosquito bites and breeding grounds on our Mosquito Control Program webpage.
