Reading Services
We host a variety of book discussion groups for different ages and interests, plus other events for readers and writers. We'd love it if you joined us. You can find a list below of upcoming sessions.
741.5 is written and designed by Lexington Public Library staff member Bill Widener. The inaugural issue came out in January 2017. Sub-titled The Comics & Graphic Novel Bulletin of the Lexington Public Library, its intent is to promote new arrivals to the Library's comics collections. 741.5 takes its name from the numeral designation within the Dewey Decimal System that covers comics and cartooning.
You can request a "Bag of Books" to access our materials when you're unable to browse in person. Complete the form below, and we'll pull up to 10 items that match your specified interests. You can help us locate more items by keeping your requests general. Some examples of requests we can accommodate include:
- Cozy mysteries
- Vegan cookbooks
- Picture books about space
- Books on CD by James Patterson
- British TV series on DVD
Please note: While we will do our best, we may not be able to locate 10 items that match your request.
Would you like a Book Buddy to bring you books from the Lexington Public Library?
The Lexington Public Library offers a free service called Book Buddies that allows homebound adults in Fayette County to receive library items in their home with the help of a volunteer. The volunteer will deliver and return library materials for their assigned Book Buddy.
Book Buddies is more than just a one-time delivery of items. Customers are matched with a volunteer who will deliver and return library materials on a regular basis.
The Luna Library, a program of Believing in Forever, collects and distributes children's books with an African American history or Black character focus. This collection is located at our Northside Branch.
