If you need a quiet table, a computer or a cheap way to print a resume in Louisville, use the Free Public Library. The Main Library on York Street is closed for renovations, so go to the Library Computer Center or an open branch instead of showing up at 301 York Street expecting a public desk.
Where to go while Main is closed
The Louisville Free Public Library lists the Main Library at 301 York Street, Louisville, KY 40203 as closed for renovations. For computers, the system currently points to the Library Computer Center, 721 South Brook Street, Louisville, KY 40203, phone (502) 574-1681. The homepage recently listed that site as open Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., and closed Saturday and Sunday. Confirm hours on lfpl.org before you go; renovation plans and branch hours change.
Open branches also have public computers, Wi-Fi, and printing or faxing. Examples listed on the library homepage include Bon Air (2816 Del Rio Place, 502-574-1795) and Crescent Hill (2762 Frankfort Avenue, 502-574-1793). Pick the branch that is actually open the day you need it, using the official locations list.
Get a card first
Card rules are on LFPL's How do I page. The library says cards are free if you live, work, attend school or own property in Jefferson County, and that household members (including minor children) of a qualifying person also qualify. The same page describes a paid card for people in certain nearby Kentucky and Indiana counties; confirm the current fee and county list there. Apply online, then pick the card up at a branch with a photo ID. If your ID is from outside Jefferson County, LFPL asks for proof of address such as mail, a tax return, a deed or a lease. Internet Access Cards are available for adults 18 or older who only need the desktop computers. Questions: (502) 574-1611.
Computers, Wi-Fi, printing and a little help
LFPL provides free internet on computer workstations and Wi-Fi at every location, plus faxing and printing (including mobile printing). Rules and fees are on the library's computer-use and printing pages; ask at the desk the day you go. Take a USB drive if you want a copy of your resume to keep, and headphones if you will watch a hiring video or practice a call.
Staff help is available in person, by phone at (502) 574-1611, through Ask-A-Librarian, or by booking The Librarian Is In. For Career Center help, the official Louisville office is at 2820 W. Broadway, Suite 100; details are in our guide to finding work in Louisville.
Make the visit count
- Write down every application you send while you are at the computer: employer, job title, date, how you applied and when you will follow up. A notebook works. So does a spreadsheet you can open on the library computer or at home.
- Save or email yourself a plain-text and a PDF copy of your resume before you leave the desk, in case the public computer session ends.
- If you are printing a resume or an application, take a couple of extra copies and a simple folder so they stay clean on the way to an interview.
The Hire Power™ Job Search Tracker bundle (also on Payhip) is a Google Sheet, Notion template, Todoist project or printable PDF for that list. An ATS resume template is also in the store.
Hours, fees and computer rules change. Confirm them on the official library pages above. A tracker helps you stay organized; it cannot promise interviews or offers.
