Letter from Lance: A Look Behind the Scenes

At Kent District Library, we take great pride in making your library experience as easy, welcoming and inspiring as possible. While you may see our smiling faces at the branches or browse our shelves and digital collections, there’s an incredible amount of teamwork happening behind the scenes to make it all run smoothly.

In the new spring edition of the Kaleidoscope, we’re excited to give you a peek behind the curtain. Ever wondered what happens when you place a hold on a book? We’ve got a story that takes you step by step through the journey your item makes before it lands in your hands. You’ll also get to know our Patron Services Department — the dedicated team that answers your questions and supports our system in so many ways.

We hope this edition gives you a greater appreciation for the care, coordination and passion that bring your library experience to life every day. Thank you for being part of the KDL community!

Sincerely,
Lance Werner
Executive Director
