Summer Reading Challenge

 Join the Kendallville Public Library’s 2026 Summer Reading Program, Roar Into Reading, running June 1 through July 11! Readers of all ages can stop by either library branch to pick up materials and start earning prizes all summer long.
 Adults ages 18+ can participate in our Adult Reading Challenge by reading for 3 hours or listening to an audiobook to earn a grand prize entry ticket. Participants may get one reading sheet and can earn up to six entries into the grand prize drawings. Your third completed tab earns a choice of dino paint or yard art, and additional completed tabs earn entries into our grand prize drawings. Grand prizes this year include exciting options like a metal detector, yard games and yard art, puzzles, miniature dollhouse kits, diamond painting, and rocking chairs.
  Youth ages Pre-K through Teen can participate in our Roar Into Reading Game Board Challenge. Set a reading goal for each game board tile, and after completing five goals, stop by the library to pick out a prize and enter a grand prize drawing of your choice. Participants can earn up to six prizes and six grand prize entries per game board — and once a board is completed, they can pick up another to keep the fun going! Prize baskets this year include dinosaur-themed adventures, prehistoric playtime, butterfly explorer kits, art and STEM activities, Jurassic movie night fun, and more.
 Get ready for a summer filled with reading, dinosaurs, adventure, and prizes at KPL!

Thank you to our READ Donors!

The last time we conducted our READ (Reading, Education and Discovery) fundraising campaign was back in 2020. Then, we began the letter to supporters with “The Kendallville Public Library is engaging with the community like never before.” Little did we know then how even more true that would be now!

Every day we strive to bring new initiatives to our community to improve the quality of life for those around us. We’re partnering with local organizations to deepen the impact we have on the people we serve. We live here, we work here, and we are doing all we can to help the area thrive.

Our donors have recognized the work we are doing, and really came through this year. So far we have received donations totalling $3,175 earmarked to a variety of programs at the Kendallville Public Library. THANK YOU!

Take a Trip to the ACD Museum!

In addition to passes to Science Central and the Botanical Conservatory, KPL has added a Family Pass to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in Auburn. This pass is good for up to 2 adults at the same address and their dependent children.

In the museum, most of the cars are drivable and many are in carefully-restored condition.  The museum has a state-of-the-art Collections Conservation Center that was completed in 2015 to support the care and preservation of this priceless collection.

Passes are first-come, first-serve.
