Erik Klinenberg: "Palaces for the People" 

LFPL and the Library Foundation were excited to host sociologist Eric Klinenberg, author of Palaces for the People, for two special events at the Main Library (April 14, 2023). The first was a public panel discussion on how social infrastructure can help fight inequality and polarization.
Community leaders from across the city joined Klinenberg, as they discussed the value we place on our city’s social infrastructure-including libraries-and how it may offer solutions to some of Louisville’s critical issues.
