Each $10 ticket includes the movie, popcorn, pop and the chance to win some great prizes. Event proceeds will benefit KDL's Early Literacy initiatives.
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).   
 

If you have a library memory or story you'd like to share, we'd love to hear it!
