The Louisville Free Public Library (LFPL) has a new bookmobile to connect more citizens to books and other materials. This custom-designed and fully accessible mobile library will visit shelters, adults in care facilities, and other areas with limited access. Library staff also plans to visit parks, shopping centers, and other similar venues. This bookmobile was made possible through a recent budget allocation paired with a donation from the Library Foundation. For more information or to request the bookmobile at a residence home, community event, etc., click here.
The Land Development & Transportation Committee, a committee of the Planning Commission, will hold a public hearing Thursday, September 25 at 1 p.m. to hear, among other cases, a proposal to create eight single-family residential lots and one non-residential lot at 12707 &12709 Old Henry Road. A separate but related plan, approvable at the staff level, would allow a three-story storage facility and associated parking on that non-residential lot. Both cases include requests for at least one waiver, all of which will be approved/denied by the City of Middletown. Please let me or the case manager know of any questions or comments.
Ever wonder what happens to the recyclables you take to a metro drop-off location or set by the curb for your private hauler to collect? Metro's kNOw Waste Louisville Education Team hosts tours at the local recycling facility, Smurfit Westrock, where you can see the journey most of our recyclables take. From sorting to baling, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how materials are processed and prepared for reuse. If you're interested in signing up for a tour, please do so here. The next one is October 7. Please note that this tour is available to adults only. However, the team can bring the experience to younger audiences through photos, videos, and hands-on props.
