As part of the Chester County Library System, the Kennett Library continues to serve the community and is a go-to resource for books and knowledge-related programming.

Instead of visiting the library’s physical space, visit its website for a large collection of e-books and online programming for children, teens, and adults during this pandemic shutdown.

“The library is constantly evaluating the services that they provide to the community, and this time is no different,” said Kennett Library Director Megan Walters. “We are hosting interactive online games, book groups, and online story times in English and Spanish. There are craft videos to enjoy and suggestions of things to do or watch during this period of isolation. Of course, there are e-books available through the Libby app. Staff are working hard to make sure we have a lot to offer our patrons, but we can’t wait until we can open our doors and welcome everyone into the building.”

If you need a library card, there is an online application available on the website or you can e-mail ask@kennettlibrary.org. The library card is your key to open all of the resources available on the website. For the videos, you can subscribe to the Kennett Library on YouTube.

Also, the library has partnered with the Garage Community and Youth Center to provide Wi-Fi hot spots for online learning.

“We at the library are grateful for the local nonprofits all working together to support our community during this unprecedented time for everyone,” said Jeff Yetter, President of the Kennett Library’s Board of Trustees.
