Building Expansion Project: Watch for Survey

As many of you have heard the Kilbourn Public Library Board of Trustees and staff are working on the early phases of a library building expansion project. A BIG part of this phase is to gather input from YOU, the community on your ideas. In the very near future we will be distributing to various businesses and schools and online on our website.

Love to Read in February

You will LOVE the book club selection for February! In the Land of No Right Angles introduces the fiction of Daphne Beal.

Alex begins to understand the pitfalls of trying to be both adventurer and savior in an unfamiliar world.
