If you’re looking to find out more about diversity, equity, and inclusion then the Louisville Public Library is a great place to start. The Library’s already strong collection of titles recently received a boost by the efforts of Louisville resident Kevin Gebert and a generous grant from the Rotary Club of Boulder Flatirons.

As a result of Kevin’s efforts and the generosity of the Louisville community, the Library was able to purchase 180 copies of mostly non-fiction titles.
The Library has also recently received a grant from the Rotary Club of Boulder Flatirons, which will be used to purchase about 100 children’s and parenting books on a variety of diversity, equity, and inclusion topics....
