The mission of the Central Kansas Library System is to help member libraries give their patrons what they want by extending library service to the unserved and improving library service where it already exists.
Did you know that Logging into the Staff side of Pathfinder Central should take only 2 steps?
1) Put in your Username.
2) Put in your Password and hit enter.
You do not need to select "My Library" from the drop down menu. You will be automatically set as your default home library!
Central Kansas Library System supports access to materials. To further this end, most materials in the collection are willing lent to requesting libraries.
In rare cases, we may lend materials "For Library Use Only" or for a shorter loan term. Sometimes, especially with genealogy/local history materials designated "Reference", we are willing to photocopy a reasonable amount of pages from an available index.
CKLS participates in several resource sharing networks.
- PILL (Pathfinder InterLibrary Loan)
- KICNET (Kansas Information Circuit)
- OCLC
KIC code: CD6
OCLC code: CD5
Our department also handles ILL requests, both borrowing and lending, on behalf of Great Bend Public Library and, sometimes, member libraries of the System.
