[[Image:Kilmer-library-seejanerun.gif|frame|right|The Kilmer Library in Lawndale]]
A public library in [[Lawndale]], first seen and named in the episode "[[See Jane Run]]." The library appears to be named for the American poet (1886-1918) killed in World War I, who in 1913 wrote “Trees” (“I think that I shall never see / A [[poem]] lovely as a tree”).

The AJK library might be the main branch of the Lawndale Public Library system, another branch of which is seen near [[Lawndale High]] in "[[A Tree Grows in Lawndale]]." Ironically, the view of the library in "See Jane Run" shows only one tree near it; the grounds around it are mostly grassy. Gotta wonder about that.
 
==The Library in Fanfic==
Though many fanfics include a library in the suburb of [[Lawndale]], few use the proper name that appears on the sign in front of the building in "See Jane Run." The Kilmer library has appeared, by name, in [[C.E. Forman]]'s "[[Accept No Substitutes]], [[Michelle Klein-Häss]]'s "[[Lawndale, CT Continuum|"Mazel Tov]]" (from her [[Lawndale, CT Continuum)]]), [[Richard Lobinske]]'s "[[It'sIt’s Not All Bad]]" (from the [[First Summer]] series), and in [[The Angst Guy]]'s "[[Smoking Mirror]]" and "[[Forgotten but not Gone]]."
 
In "[[Smoking Mirror]]," it is noted that the library has a copy of ''Tobin's Spirit Guide,'' a fictitious book on occult lore first mentioned in the 1984 movie [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostbusters ''Ghostbusters'']. The book is also mentioned in "[[The Thirteenth Man]]," so copies of it might exist in several [[alternate-universe]] versions of this library. The presence of the book makes a story a [[crossover]].
