I never attended UK so I rarely come to this library. I stopped by the other day to study with my…read morecousin and best friend and it was great environment to work in with them. William T. Young library has 5 floors with about 5-6 cores (another word for the different sections they have inside the library). It's a massive library, and definitely has a Hogwarts feel to it. We were on the 5th floor, sat in a very open area. All the tables were occupied in our area but it wasn't overcrowded. We were able to talk and it didn't seem like we were disturbing anyone around else as we were catching up. It also wasn't cold inside the library, which was great because that means I never have to worry about bringing a blanket with me next time I work here again. The chairs, although wooden, were actually pretty comfortable and being surrounded with the right people, time flew back quickly. UK also has a great guest wifi that you can access easily by creating a quick account. You're allowed to connect up to 5 devices on that wifi account. No student ID needed to get in, so definitely looking forward to working here again.

I loved going to the William T. Young Library to study. I have been to almost every floor to study,…read moreand I love how convenient the area is for any of your study needs. I like how the floors get quieter as you work your way up. I really enjoy the variety of places to sit, and the whiteboards are provided. The staff and resources make it easy to settle in and stay productive for hours. The only thing keeping it from a five-star rating would be the noise. I usually rely on the 4th floor for quiet studying, but on one visit, a group was being loud and inconsiderate of the people around them, which made it hard to concentrate. I was able to push through, but they should have gone down to a lower level. Overall, it's a fantastic library and my go-to spot for studying. I'd definitely recommend it.

The wifi just pops on without needing a password or anything; what a thought! There is a garage underneath the place. As libraries go, this is rather retro in the sense that it still has a lot of physical books and some, but not a ton of spaces for people to sit or do meetings. I imagine the library of the future being a ton of little rooms for zoom meetings. That being said, this tiny town doesn't seem to place too much demand on the space, and it's a nice place to be.

I recently attended a Fruit Tree Disease Management class there and was thoroughly impressed with the facility! It's a huge building with ample parking. It has several very nice meeting rooms and they offer all sorts of free classes. They put out a newsletter each month with all of the classes and events listed. I'll definitely be visiting for more events soon. One really nice service is that you can request books from the library and pick them up/drop them off at the box just outside Kroger in Brannon Crossing. If you live in the north side of Jessamine county, this makes getting library materials much more convenient.

The Mary Todd Lincoln House is a beautifully preserved window into the early life of a complex First Lady and the turbulent times she lived through. We opted for the guided tour, and it was absolutely the right choice. Phillip was our guide, and he didn't just recite facts. He gave perspective. Thoughtful, objective, and deeply knowledgeable, he handled the complicated dynamics of a slave-owning border state with grace and clarity. He was also incredibly kind in his portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln, helping us see her not as a caricature, but as a layered, resilient, and deeply human figure. Each room is meticulously curated. Not every item was original to the Todd or Lincoln families, but everything was period appropriate and helped tell the story. The artifacts weren't just on display. They became part of the narrative, which made it all the more engaging. What surprised me most was how much the visit made me reflect on grief ... her profound losses, her perseverance, and the emotional weight she carried as First Lady during the Civil War. It gave me a new respect for her. And even better? My wife, who is not a big history buff, was the one who suggested we go, and she loved it. That says a lot. The whole tour ran a little over an hour and was the perfect pace. Despite the unseasonably hot June day, the air conditioning kept us comfortable, and the staff were welcoming from start to finish. Bonus points for the gift shop, it's small, but full of genuinely cool and thoughtful items. Well worth the money. Perfect for history buffs, curious minds, and even the skeptics. Educational, immersive, and honest. This isn't just a house. It is a home full of stories. And thanks to Phillip, we walked out with a deeper understanding of the people and times that shaped a presidency and a nation.

Parking lot is small and tight, with overflow parking available next door.
