The Kenton County Public Library serves the entire community, promoting literacy and lifelong learning and inspiring imagination through a wide variety of resources and services. We help people connect — in person and online — with welcoming, safe places that encourage exploration, celebrate discovery, and expand opportunities for individual and communal growth.
The Kenton County Public Library’s Book Bench team, led by Robin Klaene, brought a community-driven project to life. Supported with a grant from the city of Covington and by key individuals who shared insights from previous initiatives, the team formulated a plan. Heather Elstun set artistic parameters, Mike Blum managed logistics, partnering with Two Men and a Truck for bench transportation. Gina Stenger handled PR and social media for the project leading up to the Book Bench Reveal event, which coincided with National Library Week. Their work resulted in beautiful benches being placed throughout the City of Covington last spring.
