welcome to the new kpl.gov, our patron-focused website. over the past year, we have been working hard behind the scenes to improve the online experience for patrons of the kalamazoo public library. during this time, we have completely rebuilt our website, events calendar, and catalog. the new site was redesigned from the ground up to encourage patrons to easily explore and discover new titles and events. special attention was given to make the new site easier for people using assistive technologies and devices. you will also no longer need a separate app for your smartphone or tablet as the new site is completely mobile friendly. you can even use your phone as your library card. we hope you enjoy your new kpl.gov experience!
