Kent Library Will Open on April 4 After Repairs are Complete

Updated 4/4/2022:

The Kent Library reopened on Monday, April 4.

The Kent Library will reopen on Monday, April 4. The library has been closed since December due to damage from a fire in the book drop. We've repaired the building. Now, we're getting the library ready to reopen.

Until April 4:

Kent will be closed. Return items to the book drop, which is still open. Pick up holds at Kent Panther Lake. Get the details about the closure.

Starting on April 4:

Kent will open for visits.

Hours will change. Kent will be open on different days of the week and for more hours than it was before it closed. This is because Kent was closed when library hours expanded in February.

Where are my holds?

When Kent closed, we sent all holds to Kent Panther Lake. All holds already processed at Kent Panther Lake by the end of the day on April 1 will remain there. You will need to go to Kent Panther Lake to pick those up. We aren't shipping holds that are already ready at Kent Panther Lake to Kent.

Beginning on April 4, all new Kent holds will be available for pickup at Kent.

Did you send your holds to a different location when Kent closed? You can update pickup locations for future holds in your account. For help, call Ask KCLS at (425) 462-9600 or (800) 462-9600.
