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 support 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 usually have an ongoing mini book sale inside the library with a wide variety of books in excellent physical condition, as well as offer a twice-yearly book sales in May and October.
