About

Kalamazoo Public Library is a place for everyone to explore, discover and engage.

Story

Kalamazoo Public Library, selected National Library of the Year in 2002, serves a population of 119,00 through five locations, all either built or renovated during a 1996-98 capital improvement program.

A resource for the region, KPL offers an extensive collection, excellent reference services, the Kalamazoo County Law Library, ONEplace@kpl—a nonprofit management support center, 100+ public computers, and special services for patrons with low vision.

The library leads two countywide collaborations, Ready to Read, an early childhood literacy program, and Reading Together, a reading program that involves thousands of residents each year. KPL also contributes to a wide range of community initiatives, working with a variety of organizations—schools, higher education, civic, cultural and legal organizations, human services, foundations, nonprofits, and businesses.

KPL’s Local History Room resources include an award-winning database of more than two million citations to local publications dating to the 19th century. KPL also created and maintains a Local Organization Directory of nearly 1,000 Kalamazoo County agencies, associations, religious organizations, services, groups, and clubs.

Year-round events feature author visits, book discussions, concerts, films, art displays, writing workshops, topical presentations, plus storytimes, gaming, crafts, and other programs designed for kids, tweens, teens, and families.

The Friends of the Library sell gently used books, CDs and DVDs from a bookstore on the lower level of the Central Library.

This is an excellent library and so much more than just books. The HfUB is one of their greatest assets. There you can convert old slides negatives tapes records into digital formats. Plus they have a 3D printer. Great kids department staffed by excellent people. Their weekly and special programs are the best.

A stellar library. I've lived in many cities and visited many libraries, but this one is my absolute favorite. The balance of children, teen, multimedia, and computer services hits the sweet spot. I'm in Tokyo now, and I really wish we had libraries like Kalamazoo's central branch.
