You could walk away with some great reads, gift cards, or swag from your favorite cidery--not sure if bingo is your game? You can support just by grabbing your fave cider anytime between 6-9 PM! We'll be giving back 10% of our cider sales to support IBP, so they can continue the good work they do for our community and beyond.

Buy a book. Change a life.

Join us for Starting Gate Storytime at Keeneland Library, where the horse is front and center in live readings of select children’s stories. Each book is paired with a literacy, art, history, industry awareness, or STEM activity, and Keeneland Kids Club’s favorite mascot Buckles will be on hand to brush up on his reading and spend time with young racing fans and horse lovers.

This series is ideal for learners ages 3 through 7. Starting Gate Storytime programs are free but book your spot soon, because these tickets are sure to move fast out of the starting gate!
