Kirkwood Public Library offers residents access to an extensive collection of new books, adult fiction, teen fiction, adult and teen non-fiction, magazines, audio books, large-print books, music and movies. Patrons can enjoy learning about their favorite subjects while relaxing in one of the building's comfortable seating areas located on the ground floor. They can also conduct research online at one of the ground floor's 14 computer work stations. The lower level of the library boasts a spacious, colorful children's section with additional computer work stations, and the building's upper level offers secluded work stations. If residents can't find what they are looking for, friendly front-desk staff will work to locate materials through the municipal library consortium.
