About KYVL
Open seven days a week, 24 hours a day, the Kentucky Virtual Library (KYVL) provides a core collection of digital information resources as a supplement to college, university and special libraries across the state. We strive for equitable access to quality library and information resources for all Kentuckians. We see ourselves as partners to Kentucky's educational institutions and are here to support information literacy and lifelong learning.
