Description and history

The Louisville Main Library is sited at Fourth and York streets, south of Broadway in downtown Louisville. In 1969, a $4 million north building was added to the classicizing Carnegie structure. This provided an additional 110,000 square feet (10,000 m²) of floor space, compared to the 42,000 sq ft (3,900 m²) in the original building.
