Welcome to Kentucky Family Policy
This blog is dedicated to examining issues facing the Commonwealth of Kentucky and providing a nonpartisan, family perspective on public policy making. We hope to provide a forum for Kentuckians to review and discuss current legislative actions and the issues such actions are attempting to address. The opinions expressed herein belong solely to the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the University of Kentucky, its affiliates, or its representatives.
What the authors of this blog will contribute:
1) Summarize current state, national, and international research related to topics relevant to current legilative actions.
2) Describe Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service programs and activities currently addressing issues related to legilative actions in the various counties.
3) Provide expert commentaries via podcasts and videocasts on issues relevant to current legilative actions.

The goal of the newly organized Harlan County Extension Homemakers Book Club is to get more people reading. The club has hosted two book give-aways for families reaching 197 children and adults. “Dashing Into Reading with Santa” was held in December at the Harlan County Extension Depot. It featured Harlan County Librarian Rich Haynes as Santa giving away 2 books per child. Several club members, as well as local celebrities read to the children during the program. The second reading event “Jump Into Summer with Reading” was held in May at the Depot and featured local storyteller, Pam Holcomb. Each child was allowed to choose at least 5 books and a book bag to take home.
