Week in Preview
Welcome to the Week in Preview where we highlight weekday family fun opportunities.

Here are my picks for weekday family fun!
Please visit our social distancing page where you can find ideas for keeping your family happy and healthy at home. Also, our SPRING FUN page is packed full of ideas.
You can watch horses work out on the track at Churchill Downs for FREE. Daily 7-10am, park in the white lot and enter through the paddock gate. Oaks and Derby contenders work out earliest, 7:30-7:45. This is FREE now through Wednesday April 28. You may bring food in with you April 17-April 23 for these morning workouts – coffee and donuts anyone?
Now you can listen to stories read by your favorite librarians right from your phone, 24/7—no internet required. Louisville Free Public Library’s TeleTales provides children and families a selection of recorded stories, poems, jokes, and more, on-demand wherever they are—at the store, stuck in the car, or relaxing at home. New content is added weekly, so call often.
Check out the Frazier History Museum, they are open Mondays and Thursday-Sunday, this week. They have one of the largest collections of toy soldiers and historical miniatures on permanent public display in the world plus so much more. Don’t forget their FREE membership to anyone in the 12-county area surrounding Louisville through October 31, 2021 — no strings attached!


Most Libraries reopen today at 10am. Please check your Library branch hours at www.lfpl.org/branches/index.htm
