The State of Kentucky Establishes Bookmobile Program

In 1954, the state of Kentucky began its Bookmobile Program. In Bullitt County, the Homemaker’s Association asked fiscal court members for funds to establish a library. Using state funds and donations, the Bullitt County Library was established. A bookmobile took books to various areas across the county and the First Baptist Church in Shepherdsville donated a room for daily use.

First Public Library Established

On January 24, 1924, the Bullitt County Woman’s Club established the first public library in the county. It was located within a donated room at St. Aloysius Catholic Church in Shepherdsville, with volunteers serving as librarians.
