Please follow us on Instagram or Facebook (warrencountypl). X is no longer as impactful as it once was, nor does it cooperate with our post planning platform. We have not been able to post regularly for a couple of months and will soon no longer be active on this portal.
This Sunday, July 19, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Capitol, you're invited to the art reception for local artist Maria Bird! If you can't join us for the reception, stop by during our hours of operation for the remainder of July.

The KY Historical Society will present "Boone: The Man, the Myth, the Legend" at the Lisa Rice Library WED, 7/22, at 4 p.m. and explore whether the lore surrounding the coonskin-cap-wearing legend overshadows the real Daniel Boone or accurately represents him. No ticket required.

Want to go fishing but lack the equipment? Let us help! Part of WCPL's "library of things," fishing poles can be checked out just like books! Housed at the HOTEL INC satellite library, they come equipped with a tackle box, too, but no live bait -- for that you're on your own!
Reminder: All library locations will be closed Friday, June 19, in honor of Juneteenth.
However, there will be a free movie at the Capitol Friday evening at 7 p.m., a book-to-movie adaptation of Alice Walker's classic novel, The Color Purple.
