Get a Library Card

Located in the heart of downtown Kirkwood, your Kirkwood Public Library has been serving the community for over 95 years, as a place to discover stories, passions, and gather with neighbors. As a space where all are welcome, you can curate the experience that best suits you and your familyโs needs. From books, to technology like tablets, e-readers, hot spots, telescopes, fishing rods and more, youโll find material that can enrich your life, and are completely free to you with your library card.
While our four walls hold our books, fun events for all ages and in person experiences, your Kirkwood Public Library card also opens you to a world of digital books, music, movies and more. Find them through Libby, Hoopla and Kanopy, and other resources available to you like Mango for languages. Meet us where you are, and Discover More with your Kirkwood Public Library card!
