Daily News for Friday, October 9, 2026
LWU English class learns important lessons at ACPL By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University students in English professor Sara Loy's "Writing & Culture" class commemorated the American Library Association's Banned Books Week by learning how the Adair County Public Library navigates book challenges. The good news: the library has not had to do much of that over the years because, during the last four decades, only one title has been questioned, and that was a children's book. A big reason for that impressive record is because the library and its staff members remain closely connected to the community it serves. And as Library Director Leeann Jessee told the students, the first step for a library to be firmly connected to its community is to have a lot of conversations with patrons. "You don't really know what a person wants until you sit down with them and have a one-on-one conversation with them about their interests," said Jessee, who recently completed her 40th year as the library's director. Creating those connections with patrons helps forge a bond between them and the library so that people become more than a bibliophile who checks out titles -- they also become friends and supporters of the library.

LWU student enjoy Couch Night, multiple soccer wins By Duane Bonifer For a few hours on the evening of Thursday, Oct. 8, the hillside at Lindsey Wilson University's Walter S. Reuling Stadium was transformed into an outdoor living room. At least that's how Lindsey Wilson student Kamilah Nana '29 saw it. Nana was among several hundred Lindsey Wilson students who took to the hill for the university's annual "Couch Night" at Reuling Stadium. Nana was joined by classmates Mugisha Constance '30, Kammora Gaston '30 and Jenesis Bowling '29 on a couch that Bowling borrowed from her boyfriend, graduate student Alexis Santamaria, to watch the Lindsey Wilson-Campbellsville (Kentucky) University women's-men's soccer doubleheader on Ray Wells Field. "It's like I'm sitting at home on a couch watching a big-screen TV," said Nana, a human services and counseling major from Louisville.
