NIGHT AT THE LIBRARY 2026

The Library Foundation’s second annual Night at the Library brought together community leaders, library supporters, and culinary innovators for an evening celebrating the Louisville Free Public Library. Centered around the theme “From Page to Plate,” the event highlighted the library’s role as a gathering place for learning, creativity, and connection. Guests enjoyed a roving dinner, interactive demonstrations from local chefs participating in the library’s inaugural Chefin-Residence program, and a special conversation with James Beard Award-winning chef JJ Johnson. Proceeds from the event supported the Louisville Free Public Library Foundation and its mission to strengthen and expand library services throughout the community.
