Join us at Hopkins County-Madisonville Public Library on March 13, 2026 at 5:30 PM for a special Kentucky Humanities Kentucky Chautauqua© featuring Loretta Lynn: ‘Memries of a Coal Miner’s Daughter’ portrayed by Lisa Woods. You won’t want to miss this chance to see history come to life!

Before she was crowned the “Queen of Country Music,” Loretta Lynn blazed a difficult trail through poverty, heartbreak, and resilience. Born in Butcher Holler, Kentucky, she was the daughter of a coal miner—a humble beginning that shaped the soul of her music. At just 15, she married Oliver “Doolittle” Lynn and moved across the country to Washington, where her journey as a singer began in modest venues with a $17 guitar and bold determination.

Throughout her life, Loretta never lost touch with her Appalachian roots, often returning to the tiny cabin of her youth. Her groundbreaking hit, “Coal Miner’s Daughter” remains a defining anthem—not just of her life story, but of country music’s capacity to tell real stories that matter.

This program is a collaboration between Hopkins County-Madisonville Public Library and Hopkins County-Madisonville Friends of the Library.

The bell hooks Book Club is an informal group who comes together in conversation of Hopkinsville native bell hooks and her extensive work. All are welcome to join the discussion.

The group will discuss Chapter 13, “Destiny: When Angels Speak of Love,” the final chapter of All About Love. Discussions will continue with additional books on the third Monday of each month.

Writer, cultural critic, feminist icon, and Hopkinsville native bell hooks explores what causes a polarized society and how to heal divisions. This New York Times bestselling book offers the truth about love in an expansive context and gives inspiration to help us instill caring, compassion, and strength in all our interactions.

Copies of All About Love are available in The Vault by Planters Bank Museum Shop, online through our Shopify store, to check out from the Hopkinsville-Christian County Public Library, or from your favorite bookseller.

For more information, contact the Museums at 270-887-4270 or visit us in person at the Pennyroyal Area Museum.
