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.

How is your internet?

Southern Chester County is having a Broadband assessment conducted by Magellan Advisors, a contractor with CCIU. They want to learn where there are problems with Internet access and connectivity. We know there are many homes that do not have access to stable and robust Internet service. PLEASE fill out the short survey; it will help us solve the problem.

Community Testimonials

@kennett_library

Recently, Michael Guttman and Lynnie Wachman compl

Recently, Michael Guttman and Lynnie Wachman completed the remainder of their $50,000 pledge to the new Kennett Library & Resource Center. We’re honored to have their support! Michael is a board member and Lynnie is a long-time supporter of our programs.

They told us, “The new Kennett Library is our area’s largest and most consequential community project, and we are very proud to have been able to help it along in our own small way. This has been a once-in-a lifetime opportunity for us to give back to a community that has nurtured us in so many ways for so many years.”

No donation is too small. Learn how you can help us build: link in bio.

We asked four introverted librarians to sit in front of a camera for First Thursdays With Kennett Library - and it was all that we hoped it would be! 📚💚😊

This month we had a conversation with Debbie Kellar, Circulation Manager & Access Services; Laura Florence, Collection Development; Laura Archer, Youth Services and Communications Specialist; and John Hendrix, Children Services, about our book collection, holds, and how our circulation services have become dynamic.

First Thursday link in bio.

Please join us on the first Thursday of every month to learn about the new Kennett Library and Resource Center. We’ll be inviting special guests from the library, including staff, board members, and Capital Campaign cabinet members, to talk about their plans for programs, events, and services in the new library.
