Several representatives of the Kent Public Library, including Otto Romanino, Flo Ratti, Jane Fowler and Carol Donick were pleased to welcome State Senator Sue Serino when she visited the Kent Library on July 27th. Senator Serino had sponsored the Kent Public Library for $9,000 in state grants-in-aid for the library. She was able to see the enlarged area for DVD's and the new computers purchased through this funding. The state aid also paid for eBooks, downloadable audiobooks, music and movies available to library patrons through Overdrive, Kanopy and Hoopla.
Senator Serino also read a book about race cars to a young library patron, Tristin Lamb.
"We are very grateful to Senator Serino for this state funding, which helps the library stay current with technology, eBooks and other newer media which our patrons are looking for" said Carol Donick, Library Director. "We want to continue to offer great old fashioned library services, like children's story hours, and well as new possibilities which improve the lives of our patrons."
