Chester County Imagination Library

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is now available to all children living in Chester County! Children from birth to age 5 who live in Chester County can now be enrolled in the Chester County Imagination Library program to receive a FREE BOOK in the mail once a month.

The Chester County Imagination Library is powered locally by Arts Holding Hands and Hearts (AHHAH) in partnership with the Justamere Foundation and the Kennett Library. Our goal through this program is to increase literacy levels for preschool age children living in Chester County, PA, to provide opportunities for positive family experiences and engagement, and to foster a love of reading in the greater Chester County community.

Enroll your child today to help us build a stronger Chester County community, one book at a time.

Book Recommendations with Gabriela McK, Kennett Li

Book Recommendations with Gabriela McK, Kennett Library's resident Romance Connoisseur.

Hello everyone! Let me tell you about this book: Thank You For Listening by @justjuliawhelan.

While I can say that this is a great book, I assure you it’s a superb audiobook. This is a story where two audiobook narrators fall in love while working together in – want to guess? – a romance novel.

This is a meta-romance. The main characters “meet cute” because they will narrate a love story. They are familiar with tropes, banter, and novel structure (which the book sort of follows if we check out the chapter titles). As a romance reader, you feel seen and welcomed. And, of course, we get to the HEA at the end, the Happily Ever After.

A delightful “extra” is that the audiobook is narrated by the author, and her performance is, in all ways, stellar. She’s so talented that she wrote this beautiful story and then gave it her voice. It would seem unfair if it weren’t so enjoyable.

The audiobook is available through Libby. Don’t miss out on putting this Stereo Love Story in your ears.

Come hear the story, Crocodile’s Tooth, come sing and play and do a craft with us--all while learning the importance of good oral health from Dental Hygienist, Ms. Hillary.

There will be helpful information, pointers for parents, and tools to take home which promote good oral health for the kids! A special thank you goes out to Dr. Matt Garbin and his team for this partnership.

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Kenne

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Kennett Library is closed today, January 16, 2023.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights leader who dedicated his life to eradicating racism, poverty, and war.

While many of his quotes will be shared today (this post included), let's not forget that actions speak louder than words.

En conmemoración del Día de Martin Luther King Jr., la Biblioteca está cerrada hoy, 16 de enero de 2023.

El Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fue un líder de los derechos civiles que dedicó su vida a erradicar el racismo, la pobreza y la guerra.

Si bien muchas de sus citas se compartirán hoy (esta publicación incluida), no olvidemos que las acciones hablan más que las palabras.
