We wanted to take a moment to highlight our latest partnership with the WHAS Crusade for Children. Thanks to a grant from the Crusade For Children and the JTPL Foundation, Bookpacks were distributed to students in need around Clark County.

The Bookpacks are a kit that includes books and a device that aids in the reading of the book. They are great for pleasure reading, vacation, and youth with learning disabilities.

Thank you to the Crusade for helping us make the day of kiddos around our community!

“When Jeffersonville librarian Diane Stepro first saw the box of audio recording, she had no idea what they were…”

Those recordings? Just the voices of Jeff residents who survived the Great Flood of 1937.

Now, Stepro and the Jeffersonville Township Public Library team will look to digitize roughly 40 hours of interviews to share with the community, thanks in part to a grant from Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Special thanks to the News and Tribune for sharing the story of the library’s ambitious new project. To read the article, please click here.
