Description and history
The Louisville Main Library is sited at Fourth and York streets, south of Broadway, adjacent to 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.
