KDL is partnering with Meals on Wheels Western Michigan to collect shelf-stable food for local seniors. Every donation helps support nutritious meals while fostering independence, healthy aging and meaningful connections throughout our community.

Drop off shelf-stable food items to any branch during September.

Exclusive behind-the-scenes library content: delivery edition! 📦📚

Every morning, we receive a delivery of new items and requested patron holds from the Service and Meeting Center - KDL, where patron requests are received and distributed to all 20 KDL branches.

Here, Assistant Branch Librarian Kate is hard at work processing these items and getting them on the shelves early in the day, so they can get into the hands of patrons as quickly as possible!

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Dolly Parton, a true champion of literacy. Through Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, 332,411,218 free books have been placed into the hands of children.

“When I was growing up in the hills of East Tennessee, I knew my dreams would come true. I know there are children in your community with their own dreams. They dream of becoming a doctor or an inventor or a minister. Who knows, maybe there is a little girl whose dream is to be a writer and singer.

The seeds of these dreams are often found in books and the seeds you help plant in your community can grow across the world.” - Dolly Parton

We will miss you, Dolly.
