During November 1, 2025 through Feb. 28, 2026 your Louisville Zoo is teaming up with Kroger for the Wild Winter Days program. Visitors who bring in one canned food item or non-perishable food item (per person) to donate to Dare to Care may purchase tickets at the Zoo ticketing windows for $11 per adult and $8 per child / senior ticket. Remember that 25 cents of every admission ticket sold supports Louisville Zoo conservation efforts in Kentuckiana and around the world.

Carmichael’s 2026 Reading Challenge BINGO is live! They have one for adults and one for kids. You have all year to work on getting a regular BINGO or a coverall; getting a coverall gives you an extra chance to win a gift card. Once you’re done, drop off your BINGO sheet at any of their stores.

The Library offers lots of free resources and programs to help students, parents, and educators succeed now that school is back in session. From online homework help and test prep classes to research tools and after-school programs, CHECK OUT WHAT LFPL HAS TO OFFER.

Curated to offer families and individuals the opportunity to explore sensory-friendly experiences in the library and at home, sensory kits aim to support sensory development, provide educational enrichment, and foster meaningful connections through play and exploration. These sensory kits can be borrowed for up to 21-days and can be reserved for checkout at any LFPL branch.
