Prospect Kentucky's Lawrence C. Falk Library


Link to July 21 Louisville Courier-Journal article, "Prospect library seeks patrons".

Excerpt: Before the Prospect Reading Center opened eight years ago, residents who wanted to borrow a library book had to travel 10 miles to Middletown or pay a $24 fee to use the Oldham County library in Goshen.

The reading center was a project of former Mayor Lawrence C. "Lonnie" Falk, who died in 2006. It opened in City Hall with 1,350 books in March 2002. Today, it has 3,200 titles and is known as the Lawrence C. Falk Library.

Officials hope calling it a library rather than a reading center will clear up some confusion, said Paul McAllister, chairman of the library committee
