The Keeneland Library, which is celebrating its 80th anniversary this year, will present several exhibits and special events over the next few months, including the popular Library Lecture Series.

From Feb. 19-May 31, the Library will spotlight the acclaimed sculptor of the early 20th century in the display “Herbert Haseltine: The Gold Standard.” Visitors will see two prominent works from Haseltine’s latter period: “The Thoroughbred Horse” and “Portrait of the Racehorse Tom Fool.”

On Feb. 26, sculptor Kirk Hoefling of Versailles, Kentucky, will discuss Haseltine and his work at the first of two Library Lecture events “Herbert Haseltine: The Gold Standard.” The program, which begins at 6:30 p.m. ET, is free and open to the public. A reception will follow Hoefling’s presentation.

On March 26, the Library will open the next chapter of its exhibit of historic photos titled “From the Vault: Jockeys.” The exhibit will feature 26 images dating from the late 1800s to the mid-20th century. Varied memorabilia from jockeys Eddie Arcaro, Ted Atkinson and Bill Shoemaker will accompany the photographs.

The second Library Lecture Series program is scheduled for May 14, when Jennifer Kelly of Madison, Alabama, will discuss her new book, Sir Barton and the Making of the Triple Crown.
