Did You Know? April 23-29 is National Library Week. This year’s theme is “There’s More to the Story.” Many people still think a library is just a place to get books or maybe study, but we have so much more to offer. KPL has books, DVDs, audiobooks, and board games to check out. We also have computers, free WiFi, and copy/print/fax services available. We offer themed programs for birth—adult, including crafts, STEM, stories, music, and more. If you haven’t visited your library lately, come back and see what we have to offer. If you are a regular patron, thank you and please tell your friends what great things your library offers!

Remember When? (A look back at important events in literary history—author birthdays, book/character debuts, and dates in books)


Staff Pick from Katrina I'd like to recommend "The Banshees of Inisherin," an Irish film that the library has recently added to its collection. Written and directed by Martin McDonagh and starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, Banshees is set during the Irish Civil War in the 1920s and tells the simple story of a break-up between friends. At least, there's an attempted break-up-- it doesn't go very well. The film is a very funny, sharp dramedy about relationships, art, kindness, and Irish history, but it doesn't shy away from heartbreak and great tragedy (be warned!). Some sniffling aside, it is a beautifully shot movie that captures the mystique and hardship of Ireland. I can't say enough in praise of Farrell's performance in particular, and Jenny the donkey might be the cutest animal to ever grace the screen-- you'll just have to see it for yourself!
