Are the hours of operation at your preferred branch meeting your needs? We are reviewing hours of operation at all 16 KFPL locations, and we want to hear from you.

This is your opportunity to let us know when you’d like to be able to visit branches, give feedback on digital collections, and share ideas for the Mobile Branch. This survey will be available until October 31 and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your input!

Upcoming Programs and Events

Truth and Reconciliation at KFPL

September 30 is Orange Shirt Day, and the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Starting in 2021, this date commemorates survivors, those lost, and those suffering because of the residential school system. Understanding this legacy is important for reconciliation.

In our branches, staff are wearing orange shirts and we will observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. Scan an in-branch poster to learn more about colonization, truth, and reconciliation. KFPL is committed to the process of active reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples and responding to calls to action. Please visit our Truth and Reconciliation website to learn more about KFPL's work.

There is a sacred fire at Confederation Park until 7 p.m. today, and a YouTube livestream of Remember Me: A National Day of Remembrance.
