Kent County Public Library Newsfeed

We have lots of new books, audiobooks, movies, music and more showing up at the library every day. So, we have the New & Hot page on our Web site devoted to showing you what's new to the library, what's coming soon, and what's currently on the New York Times Bestseller lists. These lists link directly into our catalog so you can easily place requests for the books you want, and get a call when they're ready for you to pick up at the circulation desk.

The new book & bestseller lists have been updated today, so now's the time to place your hold. And, if you need any help with your account or placing holds online, we'd be happy to help.
