Support Kennett Library
At Kennett Library, we believe in the quiet magic of discovery.
Like a firefly glowing in the night, the library lights the way for curious minds, lifelong learners, young readers, and those seeking connection. We are more than shelves of books; we are the spark that ignites imagination, fuels dreams, and creates community.
But we can’t do it without you.
Your support helps us offer more than just great books. It brings storytimes to children, internet access to job seekers, safe spaces to teens, and inspiration to artists and entrepreneurs.
Every gift, no matter the size, helps keep our light shining for everyone in the community.
Together, we can ensure that Kennett Library continues to be a vibrant hub of learning, creativity, and community connection.
We are deeply grateful for your continued and unwavering support.

Rachelle and her son, Marian (pictured above), share a special love for Kennett Library. Marian enjoys exploring books about dinosaurs and superheroes, loves attending music programs, and riding the elevator.
Since Maraian is still learning to read, Rachelle often brings him to the library so they can read new stories together. Rachelle told us that the library is a place for discovery and is a cozy spot for them to visit, especially in the winter months.
Stories like this are possible because of supporters like you – no matter how much you give.

Kennett Library is a private 501(C)3 that is a member of the Chester County Library System. We receive governmental funding from the State of Pennsylvania, the County of Chester, and all eight of the local municipalities we serve.
The remaining funds needed to operate the library come from contributions by our friends in the community through annual giving, grants, events, and the efforts of the Friends of Kennett Library.
Kennett Library depends upon the ongoing annual support of the community. These gifts support our programs, staff, facilities, materials, and community outreach activities to provide the highest-quality experience for children and adults, regardless of economic status. We welcome everyone to learn, grow, explore, and have the support they need to build a brighter future.
