Kokomo-Howard County Public Library

The library will be closed for Thanksgiving, but we're thankful Libby will be open!

Your library card gives you free access to Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports tests all kinds of products and provides you with ratings and reviews. "Here's how Consumer Reports helped one KHCPL patron recently. "I just used Consumer Reports two weeks ago when I had to buy a new washing machine. Consumer Reports showed me the best brands and linked me to the stores where I could purchase them. I then looked at the stores' websites for pricing, accessories, delivery, installation, and haul-away options - all without leaving my home. It was perfect!

Shop with confidence this holiday season with Consumer Reports! We offer Consumer Reports for free with your library card, helping you find the very best gifts for everyone on your list (including yourself!).
