🎣 You can now borrow a fishing pole and a tackle box with your JLS Library card!
Thanks to a partnership with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Library has 10 fishing rod and reel combos that are available to checkout.
Stop by the library with a valid ID, complete our Library of Things waiver, and check out a fishing pole.* Poles can be borrowed for up to two weeks, and must be returned clean and in good working order. A tackle box can be borrowed for up to two weeks, and must be returned clean and in good condition.
Kentucky residents under 16 may fish without a permit. Those 16 and older will need a permit; information about Kentucky fishing permits is available on the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife’s website https://fw.ky.gov/Licenses/Pages/Fees.aspx
*Patrons must be 18 years or older and in good standing in order to check out a fishing pole and tackle box.Â
