NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) – September is Library Card Sign-up Month, and the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library wants to make sure that all children in Floyd County have the smartest card of all – a library card. 

Studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifetime learning. 

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) - Drivers who use Interstate 64 between New Albany and Indiana could encounter delays for the next few weeks as transportation workers begin doing prep work to repave the road surface.

The repaving project will affect both the eastbound and westbound lanes.

Construction crews will alternate lane closures and lift them during peak driving times.

The repaving work is scheduled to end in early July.
