Boone County Schools

Thornwilde Elementary School in Hebron, Kentucky, will increase the ability of its library and related organizations to deliver programs and services contributing to post-pandemic wellbeing of families, groups, and individuals of all cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. The school will provide opportunities for the community to interact collaboratively again by creating and delivering online and in-person educational, interpretive, and experiential programs and exhibitions for learners of all ages. Story Walks will guide readers through a book while walking a preexisting outdoor trail. The school also will set up a free lending library outside, where gently used books donated by community members will be available; and Thornwilde Elementary will organize two community events to introduce patrons to the library’s makerspace, through interactive activities.
