Become a Friend of the Library

The Friends of the Library is a dedicated group of community members who support the Kendallville Public Library and Limberlost Branch. Through memberships, book sales, and other fundraising efforts, the Friends help fund programs, resources, equipment, and special projects that benefit our community.

Individual memberships are $5 and family memberships are $10 per year. Memberships purchased during October–December automatically extend through the following calendar year.

Friends members enjoy exclusive benefits, including admission to Members Only Preview Sales and postcard reminders before each book sale.

Become a Friend today and help support your library! Stop by either library branch to join, or click here for more information.

Please note: If purchasing a membership at the library, please pay with exact cash or a check, as staff are unable to make change for membership payments. You can also sign up to become a Friend in person during the upcoming Friends Book Sale!

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!

Here is a list of our donors to date and what they have funded:

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.
