What about my Book Group Kit reservations in KitKeeper? 

We have transferred existing KitKeeper reservations into MyTurn. If your KitKeeper account had a library card number associated with it, you should see your reservations when you log in to MyTurn with that card. If you do not see the reservations you expect to, please contact us at bookgroupkits@krl.org
