Its clean, and has a stale pressed look to it. Downstairs is the adult and teen section. The teen section is tiny. Due to a lack pf space the book shelves are compacted together and you push a button to expand the shelves in order to access a particular area. They offer computers and free wifi for card holders. Card holders can use computers for 60 minutes. You need to bring your own headphones. They offer printing services for a small fee. The children department is upstairs. There is an elevator. It has been my experience that most of the staff are not very nice and most seem to just be there for a paycheck. I don't frequent this branch often.

I work with children, so I have been to many libraries, and I would have to say Corydon is the BEST!!

Writing a review of a courthouse seems a bit odd, really. I have been inside of this building so…read moremany times over the past 7-8 years or so that I feel like I owe it to Yelp to finally add it to the search bag. Courthouses serve a specific purpose. If you have your own case or are simply accompanying a friend/family member, you can bet that things will be just as most courthouses. Security upon entering the building, slow elevators, and not the cleanest place in the city...these are all part of it. If you happen to be an attorney, social worker, other services provider that finds yourself in the Judicial Center then you are likely just hoping to get your case called in a timely manner so that you don't have to spend the entire day at 7th and Jefferson. Some basic info for first time visitors: -park in the garage across the street to avoid having to reload a meter (you can only pay for 2 hours at a time) -if you do park at a meter, take a picture of the meter number so that you can reload it on your phone using the app...so. much. easier. -do not bring crazy things into the building, it will likely set the mags off and you will have to keep it with the sheriffs and then might be late for your court hearing -pack a lunch, snack, dinner, whatever seems like a meal you might end up having to skip (court ALWAYS takes longer than you expect) -bring a book/magazine, work, and your phone charger (just in case) -do not wear pajama pants, revealing clothing, tank tops (it's cold in this building, people), or offensive words/pictures on your fit...judges do not appreciate this -turn your phone ringers off when you go inside the courtroom (duh) -use the courthouse snack shop for drinks, packaged snacks, and Nord's donuts -the buildings connect via a pedway on the 2nd floor (you're welcome on rainy/cold/snowy days) I could go on and on but I won't. Remember, 7th and Jefferson (The Judicial Center) houses family court divisions 1-10 (only 4th-6th floors) as well as all the circuit court divisions. The building at 6th and Jefferson is district court including juvenile court on the 3rd floor. Good luck!

We found ourselves in small courtrooms used throughout the week by our local judges and attorneys. You will enter through the front doors and pass through security. Pockets must be emptied and bags placed on the scanner. You can bring in drinks and food but no glass containers. Vending machines can also be found inside. Bathrooms were in terrible shape, sometimes out of toilet paper. Overall this isn't an exciting building structurally. I was hoping it would feel more historical and interesting. Below is the information from the Louisville Metro Government website, which gives insight of its history and current usage. ..................... Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, this Louisville landmark at 601 W. Jefferson St. is an impressive piece of civil Architecture and a metaphor for Louisville's Post War optimism and can-do attitude. Its exuberance is a stylistic counterpoint to the far more austere, 1836 Greek Revival style county courthouse across 6th St. Before city hall was built, there was no city Government building. City officials had shared space in the County Courthouses. Plans for the city hall were initiated when a design competition was help with the winner receiving five hundred dollars. In April 1867 the winning design, created by Louisville architects John Andrewartha and CS Mergell, was chosen. By the summer of 1870 the final plans of construction had been drawn by Andrewartha, in association with local architects C.L. Stancliff and Co. The existing government buildings on the site were demolished, and ground was broken for the building's foundation. The city engineer, I.M. St. John had been chosen by Louisville General Counsel to oversee the project, and Andrewartha was named the managing architect. Built with stone from the White River quarries near Salem, Indiana, city hall's construction took place between 1870 and 1873 at a cost of $464,778. The city hall, with its three stories and raised basement, was a blend of Italianate motifs and the French Second Empire style that was prominent in civic buildings after the Civil War. The edifice is also characterized by prolific use of symbolic ornamentation. Louisville's trust in progress and railroads is reflected in the buildings upper carvings. For instance, the pediment over the main entrance displays a bas relief of the city seal represented by a train "plowing through the wilderness" past such Southern flora as a palm tree and bearing the slogan "Progress 1871" This not only indicated the direction of Louisville's principal trade but was also an apt symbol of the tremendous influence the railroads, especially the Louisville and Nashville line, had on the city's commercial development. Likewise, the stone livestock carvings along the sides of the building reflect the importance of Louisville's Stockyards in her economic history. Another prominent feature of the city hall is its 196-foot-high, four faced clock tower with a mansard roof, built by Henry Whitestone in 1876 after an 1875 fire had damaged the original. A major exterior restoration of City Hall was undertaken in 2017. The limestone walls were cleaned, masonry joints were tuck pointed, and windows were renovated. During the restoration, several architectural elements were replaced such as the limestone columns and cast-iron corbels. Many of the same methods used to construct the elements were used to recreate the replacement pieces. Thought the exterior has remained largely unchanged, several renovations and remodeling projects have left little of the original interior intact. Today, the building houses the offices and chambers of the Louisville Metro Council.

But every X number of years, a person needs to renew their drivers license. UGH, amirite?! So, you want to get it done as quickly and painlessly as possible. As it turns out, this location (downtown, near the courthouse area) is close enough to my office that I can walk there if need be. Which is good because I don't also end up having to pay to park when I already pay to park monthly somewhere downtown. I could also go during a normal break at work, at any time of day, rather than having to fight with traffic at rush hour or after school times to get to a further out location. I was also able to get here right when they opened for the day. So I was the first person in the door. The building is older and the A/C doesn't work great, but the woman working was still pretty pleasant and friendly. I was in an out in no time! In fact...I left my desk at 8:15am, and I was back at the office and in my chair with my renewed license in my hand by 8:50am. Not too shabby!

The people of Oldham County fought hard to preserve this historic piece of history. Recently, the State of Kentucky approved $29 Million dollars to be used to renovate. Work has started on this project and projected to be completed in 2024. From WEHR Construction:The Oldham County Courthouse is a very complex and unique project. This project will consist of preserving, remodeling, and adding to the 6,355 square foot original courthouse. The 900-ton historic structure was originally constructed in 1828, making it the second oldest courthouse in the state of Kentucky. With experience, knowledge, and coordination, Edwards Moving & Rigging will be relocating the historic building to accommodate the 47,620 square foot addition. Considering the time and patience needed to successfully execute a project of this nature, the new Oldham County Judicial Center will be completed in August of 2024.
