Friends of the Kensington Library
The Friends of the Kensington Library, a 501c(3) nonprofit organization, has worked to improve library services in Kensington since 1959. Through membership donations and book sale earnings, the FKL provides the library with funds to build its collection, maintain its circulating materials, and improve building facilities. We also provide children`s and cultural programs for the community, and partner with the organization West County Reads (“WCR”) to promote family literacy and raise awareness of the benefits that reading and library services provide the community.
The Friends of the Kensington Library also have an ongoing book sale at the library with a wide variety of books in excellent physical condition. Many of the best books go directly to this mini-sale instead of waiting for the twice-yearly book sales in May and October.
Donations
Currently we are only accepting a handful donations inside the library, if space permits. If you have large quantities, the Friends accept items on Tuesday 11am - 1 pm near the library's back entrance at the book shed.
Items we accept:
- Books in good physical condition
- DVDs/Blu-Ray
- Compact Discs
- Vinyl LPs
Please do NOT leave donations outside. We DO NOT accept VHS cassettes, audio cassettes, magazines, obsolete textbooks, encyclopedias, Time/Life books and similar series.
For additional information, see the library's general information on donations.
