When it comes to checking out items from the library, the first thing everyone thinks of is books. However at the Kent District Library they offer a lot more than just books!

Ruff Readers pairs children age 5-10 years old with a trained therapy dog and their handler, giving the child a chance to read to a canine companion.

The Kent District Library is closing branches for the safety of patrons and staff but will continue curbside service and online resources as they did at the beginning of the pandemic.

In a summer where just about everything has been cancelled, it's a great time to sit down with a good book. Kent District Library is now announcing that they will welcome the general public back for in-branch visits beginning Wednesday, August 5th with limited hours.

The original plan was for the Kent District Library to re-open to the public on Monday July 6th, but that date will be delayed.

Apparently, in an attempt to kill the novel coronavirus, some folks in West Michigan are microwaving their library books.

From GoPro cameras, to Internet Hot Spots, to even a Ukulele -- you can check out these items at the Kent District Library.

The KDL Branches Will be Opening Soon

Kent District Library has closed all branches to the public in response to COVID-19.

A fun way to ring in the new year at a kid-friendly time.

Finally, a chance to permanently prove how much you love reading.

It looks like winter will return this weekend. It might be a good weekend for indoor activities, although we have a couple of outdoor activities as well so you can get out and enjoy the wintry weather.
