Celebrate National Library Week

April 12-18 is National Library Week and KDL invites you to celebrate the contributions of libraries, librarians and library workers in schools, campuses and communities nationwide. It's the perfect time to discover how Worlds connect @ your library. Be sure to stop by any one of our 18 branch locations during that week to pick up a special Culture Pass coupon booklet featuring discounts to local attractions (available while supplies last).    

April is National Poetry Month, and KDL is once again hosting the annual Teen Poetry Contest, April 1-30. We invite all Kent County teens ages 13 to 18 to participate in this year's contest.

 

Winners will receive a $50 gift card from Schuler Books & Music and have their poem published on the KDL website.  For details visit our contest page.
