Who Is Your Favorite Author?

As someone who works with books all day, one of the hardest questions to answer is: “Who is your favorite author?”  Truthfully, we all have more than one favorite author, that author who we will read no matter what they publish.


Combining almost 10 years of staff favorite lists and about 40 different authors, here are the two authors that stand out from the many beloved authors.

Branch vs Branch Social Media Showdown

You haven’t seen librarians this excited since Andrew Carnegie funded libraries like they were going out of style!


                        Aaron shelfie CraigBuno_KP


This October, all eighteen Kent District Library branches are going head to head in social media battle. On the line, eternal glory and what has been rumored to be the biggest, baddest, “awesomest” (Awesomest? Sure, why not?) trophy to ever grace a library counter.

You can help your branch clinch the win by liking their Facebook page and encouraging others to do so during the month of October. In return you’ll get access to community events, free programs, book recommendations and news releases.


Do your branch proud and like their page!
