LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The design for the new Southwest Regional Library will be unveiled Monday evening. The $13 million regional library will cover 40,000 square feet on four acres along Dixie Highway.

City government is paying $9.5 million of the cost, with another $3.5 million from the Louisville Library Foundation.
