Get ready to fall in love with your next great read!

The Friends of the Kensington – Normal Heights Library is absolutely bursting with literary treasures, from used books and magazines to CDs and DVDs. Whether you are exploring our sunny outdoor carts or browsing the cozy shelves just inside the lobby, you are bound to find a hidden gem—most for just a $1 or less.

We would also love for you to be part of the magic. We are always looking for friendly volunteers to help us share the joy of reading by assisting with our outdoor book sales, which typically happen twice a year. It is a wonderful way to meet fellow book lovers and give back to our neighborhood.

Every single purchase helps us fund special programs and extra resources that make our local library shine. Come visit us, find a bargain, and help support the heart of our community.

We would be happy to help your pre-loved books and media find a new home.

We gratefully accept donations of books and other items during regular library hours. Since our storage space is a bit cozy, please reach out to library staff in advance if you have a large collection to share. We will be happy to make special arrangements to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Thank you for supporting our library and keeping our community reading.
