Top Questions

The library does not charge fines for most late items.  Fines still apply to Empower Tools.  A charge may be applied to your account if an item is overdue by 30 or more days. You will be charged for the item if it is not returned.

To get started: 

  • Click on Log In/My KCPL in the upper right-hand corner. 
  • Use your current library card number and PIN to get started. 
  • Follow the steps on the screens to register. 

If you have forgotten or do not already have a PIN, reset it using the library's classic catalog or contact library staff to set a new one for you (the "Forgot Your Password?" link in the new catalog will not work until you have registered on the site).
