The Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives has scheduled a public meeting for May 28, according to an announcement from the [Kentucky Education and Workforce Cabinet](https://kentucky.gov/Pages/Activity-stream.aspx?n=EducationCabinet&prId=823).

[KDLA](https://kdla.ky.gov/Pages/index.aspx), which operates under the Education and Labor Cabinet, serves Kentucky by ensuring equitable access to library and information resources while helping public agencies maintain adequate documentation of government programs.

The meeting will be open to the public, in accordance with Kentucky's Open Meetings Act, which requires that meetings held by public agencies be accessible to citizens. Residents interested in attending can find more information on the department's website.

Based in Frankfort, KDLA manages numerous initiatives including the [Kentucky State Digital Archives](https://kdla.access.preservica.com/portal/), which provides public access to digital records from state and local government agencies, and operates [Kentucky's public library system](https://kdla.ky.gov/Library-Support/Pages/Public-Libraries.aspx).
