Federal cutbacks at the National Endowment for the Humanities mean that @KYHumanities will lose about 70 percent of its budget. Executive Director Bill Goodman and Board Chair Jennifer Cramer discuss what that means for its programs in the commonwealth. ow.ly/jubI50VyGkJ

It was a wonderful day celebrating literature at the KY Book Festival. I got to read with Kentucky kids – and even snagged a few books to take home. Books are truly magical, and literacy is life-changing. Thank you to @KYHumanities and @JosephBethLex for hosting this event.
