Kent County Public Library Newsfeed

Did you know that our website is a virtual branch of the library? That means you can use library resources even when we're closed! If you have a valid library card and a computer with internet access, you can check out our virtual collection 24/7 in order to do research or download audiobooks and ebooks.

This month, the spotlight is on the Kent County News Archives.

Through KCPL's website, you can browse or search archived editions of the Kent County News from November 30, 2006 to the present.

Want to give it a try? Here's what you need to do:

1. Visit the Articles & Info page on KCPL's website.
2. Select Newspapers.
3. Scroll down and choose Kent County News.
4. If prompted, enter your library card number. (Your location--at home or in the library--will determine whether or not you need to do this.)
5. Happy searching!

Have you had a wonderful experience with one of KCPL's librarians? Don't keep it a secret!

The American Library Association, Carnegie Corporation of New York, and the New York Times are collaborating to celebrate exceptional librarians. Wouldn't it be great to have a KCPL librarian nationally recognized for his or her fantastic work?

The form to nominate a librarian for the "I Love My Librarian!" award is available online.
