The Library is here for YOU!!
Welcome to the Kendall Young Library Blog!
So many changes are happening in this world lately, with COVID-19 closing businesses, cancelling vacations, keeping you apart from your friends and family, making going back to school stressful, and just down right making life difficult. But we just want you to know that the Library is still here and we are still catering to your needs the best we can! You don't have to stay at home with nothing to read or watch, we got you covered! We have resources that you can access from home, and there are still ways for you to come inside the Library to get materials. We even have Virtual programming planned and Take & Make Craft Bags for all ages! Here's what you need to know:

No Face-to-Face programming this Fall:
We are sad to announce that we are not doing face-to-face programming this Fall when school starts. We missed you all at our Summer Reading Programs this year, but we are working on planning more fun Virtual programs and Take & Make Crafts for all ages! Make sure to keep checking our Facebook page, our Website, the radio, and newspapers for information on programming and any changes in the Library Guidelines that may occur!
Sidewalk Fun!
Need to get out of the house? Stop by and check out our Sidewalk Obstacle Course that runs the length of the ENTIRE sidewalk to the South of the Library! Follow all the steps, hop, spin, sidestep, and run all the way to the end! Make sure to look to your left while you are doing it to Guess the Silhouette of the Book Characters in the lower Library windows! Thank you to Teri Cornett for being so creative and making this happen!
