How do I get a library card?

Books can be checked out for a two-week period. Videos have a one-week checkout.

Can I donate materials to the Library?
The Kindred Public Library will accept most books/videos which are in very good condition. Items not accepted include recipe books, exercise books/videos, and books/videos which have an odor or are in questionable condition. Those who donate receive a Donation Receipt Form as record for tax purposes. Duplicate materials may be placed in the Book Sale Room located in the same building; these items are available to the public for a minimal charge.
