History
The people of Fern Creek have always recognized the importance of its library over the years by consistently showing their support. The Fern Creek Community Library originated in 1937 when the Fern Creek Women's Club established a library with books donated by the Louisville Free Public Library, housed in the Fern Creek Community Center. In 1963 the Library became a full branch of the Louisville Free Public Library after passage of the occupational tax. Unfortunately, in 1986 it was closed as a county branch, but due to the tremendous efforts of Fern Creek residents it was kept open as a volunteer community effort. County Commissioner Irv Maze funded a grant, generous donors provided books and a staff of several active volunteers actually operated the library. On November 29, 1993 the Fern Creek Branch once again became part of the Louisville Free Public Library when it began providing a full range of information services to the Fern Creek community. In June, 1999, the library opened at a new location on Bardstown Road in the Cedar Springs Shopping Center to better serve this fast growing community.
In addition to reference help and a quality book collection, Fern Creek provides Adult and Children's programs, PCs with Internet access, and computer classes.
