Helping to "Stock the Shelves"
 Thank you for helping us Stock the Shelves with your donations to the KDL Fund. Your generosity helped us raise over $9,000 to purchase new books and materials for our youth collection and grow our legacy of lifelong learning. With your donations, we were able to purchase 450 Read-Along Storybags, 99 Sounds of Phonics Easy Readers, and 150 Popular Author/Character Picture Books such as Fancy Nancy, Max & Ruby, Pete the Cat, and others. With these materials we aim to instill a love of reading and learning in our youngest library users.
We are so fortunate to have friends who so generously support KDL's early literacy efforts. Please consider a gift to the KDL Fund and support literacy programs for young children. And stay tuned for more exciting KDL Fund initiatives as we  celebrate KDL's 75th Anniversary! |
Share a Memory with KDL's BiFolkal Kits
 It's great to share a memory with a loved one and relive a special time in your life. For some older adults, however, that recollection can become more difficult. In order to help relive some of these special memories, KDL offers free BiFolkal discussion kits. Each kit is designed to bring back memories of a particular time or topic. With videos, photos, objects and more, you'll unlock remarkable stories, humorous anecdotes, and first-person accounts of history, experience and life. These multisensory kits can be used with any group of older adults or mixed-age group. Themes include automobiles, music, school days, and much more. Reserve your BiFolkal Kit today and share a memory with someone special. |
