The State Library administers three circulating programs to interested Kentucky public libraries. These programs offer library materials in a wide array of titles, genres, and languages that public libraries can use to meet the needs of their communities without expending their own budget resources.
Circulating Audiobook Program
The State Library provides audiobooks to interested public libraries. These audiobooks circulate for a maximum of four months. The receiving library has the discretion to select the number of audiobooks (from 10 to 40) and the variety of genres it would like to have included. Public libraries interested in participating in this program should fill out the Participation Registration Form below and email it to Deborah Hibbard at
Deborah.Hibbard@ky.gov.
Circulating Audiobook Collections are shipped through the KYVL Courier. For questions about the KYVL Courier, please contact the Kentucky Virtual Library: kyvl@ky.gov; 844-400-5985 (toll-free).
Circulating Large Print Books Program
The State Library provides large print books to interested public libraries. These large print books circulate for four months. The receiving library has the discretion to select the number of large print books (from 50 to 250) and the variety of genres it would like to have included. Public libraries interested in participating in this program should fill out the Participation Registration Form below and email it to Deborah Hibbard at
Deborah.Hibbard@ky.gov.
Circulating Large Print Collections are shipped through the KYVL Courier. Collections larger than 175 books will be sent in two separate shipments. For questions about the KYVL Courier, please contact the Kentucky Virtual Library:

Collections in other languages are planned for future development. These collections circulate for four months.
