The Kanawha County Public Library system is excited to announce the launch of its newly redesigned website: kcpls.org. This streamlined, modern design offers easy navigation with a user-friendly interface, faster load times and engaging content to help patrons better discover KCPL’s collections and services.
“We have listened to feedback from our patrons and staff about how they use KCPL’s website and what features they would like to see included,” said Library Director Erika Connelly. “Their input helped guide us to craft a website that will meet the unique needs of our community.”
Online Resources – Discover an extensive collection of digital resources at your fingertips- searchable by keyword, type, category and audience age. Genealogy and local history, government information, grant and nonprofit resources and community resources are conveniently located in the top navigation bar.
Accessibility – Built with accessibility in mind, KCPL’s new site includes features such as expanded alternative text for screen readers, improved color contrast and a responsive design for multiple devices and screen sizes.
