Henderson Co. KY Public Library April 2024 Programming

Part of my job is scrolling Facebook and finding local things to write about. One account that always catches my eye is the really amazing programming that Henderson County Library offers to residents FREE OF CHARGE!

So, let's dive in and take a look!

FREE ECLIPSE GLASSES

The solar eclipse is just around the corner! The library wants all their patrons to be equipped with the proper protective lenses for eclipse viewing so they are offering FREE solar eclipse glasses the week of March 25th to every library card holder!

LETHAL LIBRARY

If you love true crime, Henderson Co. Public Library has the program for you! Meet up at the HCPL every first Monday of the month at 6 PM to explore all things murder and mayhem! Every month will be something different from listening to podcasts, playing crime-centric games, discussing true crime cases, watching movies, and more.

*This program is for adults. Materials viewed and discussed may contain violence, gore, and explicit content.

See Inside the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY

This summer, we visited the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY, and we had an absolute blast. The world's only "Equine Theme Park" you can enjoy a horse-drawn trolley ride, meet world-champion horses, see horses "dance," and learn about all the ways horses have enriched the human experience throughout time. Here's a sneak peek in the park. Visit kyhorsepark.com for more info!

10 Reasons Why This Kentucky Family Spends Every Vacation They Can at Disney World

When I tell people that we vacation at Disney World and have since my twin boys were 10 months old, the first question people usually ask me is, “Are you okay?” But the second question I get asked is, “What do you love so much about it?” Well, “I think so,” for the first question, and, “Everything,” for the second.

But saying I love everything about Disney World is kind of like me saying I love all my kids equally. It’s true, of course, but not a satisfying answer (Love you guys, equally)! It’s the WHY that matters. Why go to the most crowded theme park in the world when I could go almost anywhere else? Why not go to the beach or a cabin far away from society? Why do I want to go non-stop from sun up to sun down instead of sleeping in and resting on my vacation? Trust me, I get it, and yes, I've asked myself these questions. But the truth is, while it may seem wild to actively plan and prepare routine Disney World trips, it's a rush and I enjoy every minute of it, so let me give you ten reasons why this Kentucky family goes to Disney World for vacation.
