Newburg Library

The 8300 square foot Newburg Library is education driven. With a high school, two middle schools and three elementary schools nearby, the focus is on study space, books and computers to help children and teens succeed in school. It is outfitted with the latest technology for computers, internet access and media production.  The children’s area is filled with plenty of books. Every day, parents and grandparents are reading to children in the rocking chairs or comfortable window seats. A teen area, study tables, study room, and space for tutoring make the library the perfect place for students to do their homework. (more...)

History

Newburg is a community of businesses, homes, social and civic organizations, churches and schools, but the residents are its greatest asset. The dream of building a library in Newburg became a reality in August 2009. The Newburg Library is the first new public library to open in Louisville in 13 years and building this library has been a community effort. The Library Foundation has contributed a half-million dollars to Newburg, providing furniture, books and technology. In addition, Newburg residents and Friends groups from across Louisville have donated time, money, and books to open the doors of the library to the public.

About the Newburg Library

The Newburg Library is for everyone. With more than 30 touch screen computers available for adults, teens, and children, a comfortable corner to sit quietly and read, and a versatile multi-purpose room, the library is ready to serve individuals and groups alike.

State-of-the-art computers, self-check out, lights that automatically adjust to save energy—these are just a sampling of the new technologies and eco-friendly features you'll find at the Newburg Library. You can quickly and easily check out your own materials, including multimedia items like books on CD and DVDs with self-service check out.  Also, from the self-service kiosk you can manage your library account and pay any fines or fees using a credit card.

LEED Silver-certifiedComputers aren’t the only hi-tech features at Newburg. The building's advanced “green” technologies and eco-friendly architectural design have helped make the Newburg Library Metro government’s first LEED Silver-certified building. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, an internationally recognized green building certification system providing third-party verification that a building was designed and built sustainably and with low environmental impact in mind.

The Library’s green features include geothermal heating and cooling, daylight harvesting interior lighting that adjusts depending on the amount of sunlight coming in from outside, and energy efficient windows. A high insulation white roof funnels rainwater directly into a native rain garden, filtering it naturally through the ground. And thanks to a Federal stimulus grant, the library now features solar and wind powered outdoor lighting and a new solar-powered roof. The outdoor lighting is programmed to complement the library’s hours of operation. The solar panels, installed on the existing roof, generate more than enough energy to power the library’s lighting systems.
