We know patrons are concerned by growing COVID case numbers in our community.

We don’t have the capacity to offer curbside pickup in addition to our regular services. Patrons wanting to keep their visits as short as possible are encouraged to reserve materials for easy pickup at any branch. Library staff can help you reserve items, and show you how to check your account online to see when your items are in transit or ready to pick up so that you can make a single trip.

If you aren’t able to visit the Library in person, staff can also support you in using our digital collections of eBooks, eAudiobooks, movies, magazines and music.

And KFPL no longer charges late fines, so you have the flexibility to keep your materials a few extra days so that you can make a single trip for several errands. Our outdoor drop boxes accept returns at all locations and are available 24/7.
