The Kenton County Public Library (KCPL) is and has been the highest‐rated library in the state of Kentucky by both the HALPR and Library Journal indices. In the next few years, we hope to join the top libraries in the country in the upper echelon of those rating systems – the first library in Kentucky to do so. These consistent measures of excellence are a direct result of the Library’s commitment to the people of Kenton County. These results are produced only by a library which is responsive to its community’s needs.
