1. Libraries in and around Kentuckiana
Louisville Free Public Library – I am most familiar with LFPL and their 18 library locations all over the city of Louisville. There are completely free (isn’t that the best part about public libraries!) DIY projects, 4-H groups, art classes, tween and teen programs, knitting for kids, evening family/craft storytimes, photography sessions, etc. You name it, there is a kid-infused, family-friendly do it yourself opportunity every week, and that’s why it is #1 for my family! Check out your local library, here are the links to the surrounding counties:

Oldham County Public Library / Shelby County Public Library / Bullitt County Public Library / Spencer County Public Library / Charleston/Clark County Public Library / Jeffersonville Township Public Library
