LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville's Parkland Library will reopen at the end of February.
After being closed for nearly four decades, the library has been preparing to reopen its doors thanks to federal funding and private donations. The library at 2743 Virginia Avenue shut down in 1986 due to budget cuts.
The Parkland Library is just one of four branches undergoing significant renovations. The Portland and Main branches are being restored, and a brand-new library is being built in Fern Creek. Altogether, these projects are part of a $44 million investment, funded through federal COVID-19 relief funding and private donations from the Library Foundation.
The Parkland branch will offer various services, including books for children and adults, DVDs, CDs, and a focus on early childhood literacy. It's intended to be a place where people can come together, learn and grow.
The library will host a grand reopening Feb. 27 at 11:30 a.m.
