Greetings!   


As we head into the holiday season our team is busy developing programs and finding the best in entertainment materials to delight you through the long winter months. KD aLe returns, bigger and better than ever as the community's interest grows. Let it Snow, our adult reading program, returns in version 2.0 with more staff picks, personalized picks and ways to find new authors you will love. And all of your holiday favorites - sled dogs, reindeer and gingerbread houses - will be back to enthrall children of all ages.



A huge reason KDL is able to provide such dynamic programs throughout the year is the generosity of all of you. Over 40 percent of our programming is paid for with generous donations. We thank you for your past support which has made KDL one of the best libraries in the country, and we ask that you consider supporting KDL again this year with your tax deductible gift. You make all the difference with your generosity. Seasons Greetings and we hope you enjoy winter at KDL!
