Kent Free Library

Lots for toddlers to do and a clean, relaxing vibe for care givers. Walk into the children's section of the library and it feels focused and whimsical. There's a whole room devoted just to kids, puzzles, books, toys, puppets, a play kitchen set and other kinetic activities. Great place to come in winter for kiddos to burn off some energy and play, as well as curl up with a book and read. We spent an hour here and my two year old daughter was never bored once.

I was at the new library’s opening back in 2006 or so and still remember them giving me a little styrofoam cup of fruit punch along with some pretzels. If I close my eyes I’m a 7 year old again any time I have either now. Not really relevant but nevertheless libraries are the pillars of a community and this one should be cherished.

Always wanted to explore this library, what a great place, clean, quite and we found a place to eat our lunch

So many places in Kent to go to and all the wonderful activities around Kent this is definitely one of the top places to go to they all care and it's just a wonderful place for every type of age people I love it

I grew up in this little town and got to see it grow and transform into what it is today. I've come to this library well before and after the renovations. They did such a great job with the rehab! It is so much bigger, they offer so many more books and videos, parking, many desks with people eager to help, a plethora of areas to sit and enjoy reading quietly, a multitude of computers to use if needed, a drive thru, all amenities for the disabled.. Including an elevator, automatic doors, and ample parking. Even the modernistic architecture and open air design is something worth coming to look at. They built large fasades into the walls upstairs in the kids area. Which my kids love to personally see/ There is a mini train to climb on, puzzles, hand puppets, toys galore, and so much more for the little ones to explore. Easily one of my favorite local libraries especially nowadays.
