What We Support

Donations to the Library help to fund programs and services that would not otherwise be possible. When you make a gift to KDL, you help ensure that the library can fulfill its mission for generations to come, and that it will remain a valuable asset in the community. All gifts to the KDL Fund are deductible to the extent provided by law.

Give for Today

Your gift to the KDL Annual Fund will be used to strengthen literacy programs and initiatives for young children. Donors to the KDL Annual Fund will be recognized through the "Great Authors Society."

Give for Tomorrow

Your investment in the KDL Endowment Fund is a lasting legacy to meet the future needs of our library, citizens, and community. Donors to the KDL Endowment Fund will be recognized through the "Andrew Carnegie Endowment Society."

Enjoy Today . . . Plan for Tomorrow

Gifts to the KDL Fund can allow you to create a legacy of lifelong learning while meeting your own financial and personal objectives. Contact the KDL development office at 616.784.2092 for more information. Donors who choose to make a gift to the KDL Endowment Fund through a provision in their estate plans will be recognized through the "KDL Legacy Society."

1. What is my PIN? How do I go about locating my PIN?

Your PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a unique four-digit code needed to access a number of library services, including your online library account information. The PIN you are originally assigned is the last four digits of your telephone number; however, you can update your PIN at any time through your online account.

If you cannot recall your PIN and you have signed up for email alerts, you can use the "Forget Your PIN?" feature to choose a new one. You can also contact your local branch or our Patron Services Department (616.784.2007 or contact@kdl.org) and a staff member can assist you.

2. How do I get a Kent District Library card?

In order to get a Kent District Library card, you must live within the Kent District Library service area. If you are in the KDL service area, bring a valid MI driver's license or ID along with proof of current residence (updated driver's license or recent mailing) to your local KDL branch library. Minors must obtain written consent (co-signer on registration card) by a parent or guardian in order to obtain a library card. After completing a short form, you will be issued a library card. This library card is valid at over 70 libraries in West Michigan as part of the Lakeland Library Cooperative arrangement.

You may also register for a KDL card online. Simply fill out the online registration form, identify your local KDL branch location, and your card will be ready and waiting for you to pick up when you present proper identification in person at that location.

Please note that City of Grand Rapids residents must go to a Grand Rapids Public Library location to register for a library card. KDL cannot issue library cards to GRPL residents. Likewise, GRPL cannot issue library cards to residents of KDL's service area.

3. I can't find my library card. How do I get a new one?

If you've lost your library card or believe your card to be stolen, please visit your local branch library or fill out our lost card form. If you've recently received a replacement card, there may be a small fee ($2.00) for the next replacement. Please note that failure to promptly report a lost or stolen card may result in fines for library materials illegally checked out on your card by an unauthorized user. You should also report a lost library card to Grand Rapids Public Library.

4. How many item holds can I place on my card?

You may currently have a maximum of 10 item holds placed on your card at any given time.

5. How many library items can I borrow at a time?

At this time the following limits are placed on the borrowing of library materials:

• A maximum of 100 total items can be checked out at any given time.
• A maximum of 15 VHS/DVD videos can be checked out at any given time.
• A maximum of 25 music CDs can be checked out at any given time.
• A maximum of 8 videogames can be checked out at any given time.
• A maximum of 50 MeLCat items can be checked out at any given time.

6. When are my materials due back to the library?

Checkout periods are as follows:

Due dates are listed on the receipt you receive when you check out materials. You can also check your due dates by logging in to your online account or calling our Patron Services Department at 616.784.2007. Items are due before closing on the date listed. (View KDL branch hours.)

If you wish to receive reminder emails 3 days before your materials are due, please register for our email alert service.

7. How can I renew library materials?

If the item you have checked out is not an Express item or on hold for someone else, you may renew it 1 time for an additional checkout period. You can renew items in person at your local library branch, by logging in to your online account or by calling our Patron Services Department at 616.784.2007. If an item is already overdue when you renew it, fines will be added to your account.

8. Does the library offer wireless Internet access?

Yes, we offer wireless Internet access at all of our 18 branch locations.

9. How do I find and apply for a job at the library?

Openings for Kent District Library jobs can be found in the employment section of our website.

10. How do I volunteer at the library?

There are typically many opportunities for volunteers at the Kent District Library, from getting involved with a Library Friends group to helping out with specific tasks at your favorite branch location. Contact your local KDL branch location to get details on volunteering at that branch.
