It's heavy on hip-hop and metal, with an all-star team featuring DMX, Eve, Godsmack, Kid Rock, Hole and LL Cool J.
BRAND SPANKIN' NEW
• Postcards: A new postcard series celebrates the Kenton County Public Library centennial anniversary. The idea is to show how the library system progressed in the past 100 years. The first postcard is a drawing of the county's first permanent library, now the Carnegie Center of Visual and Performing Arts on Scott Boulevard.
Each month throughout the year, there will be a new postcard. Future cards will show rooms in the old library, its rotunda, the Erlanger branch, Bookmobile and the new Covington branch. Postcards are free, while supplies last, at all Kenton County branch libraries.
