HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Officials say the state’s public K-12 districts will receive free Kentucky Virtual Library (KYVL) memberships for the 2024-25 school year, thanks to a partnership between the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) and the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE).
KDE officials say this membership provides schools with unlimited access to over 60 “high-quality” research and educational databases, shared digital archival collections, a courier service to facilitate interlibrary loans and subscriber discounts to additional databases.
