About Kennett Library

A regional public library open to all, serving the Townships of Kennett, East Marlborough, Pennsbury, Pocopson, Newlin, New Garden, West Marlborough, and the Borough of Kennett Square.

Our New Home

In June 2023, we welcomed our community into a stunning new library building. With triple the space, more programs, and a surge in visitors, Kennett Library has quickly become one of the region's favorite destinations.

Our new home features two vibrant makerspaces, an innovative audio-visual room, multiple study rooms and classrooms, a sunlit outdoor terrace, a 110-seat auditorium, and much more.

Of course, our building is fully ADA-compliant, ensuring everyone is welcome.
