Kendra Sunderland, known as Library Girl, began accepting bookings for studio work in May, marking her return to the open market after more than six years as an exclusive contract performer. This move has been met with significant industry response, with Sunderland reporting a high volume of bookings.

Return to the Open Market

Sunderland entered the open market in May, making her available for studio work for the first time in over six years. This transition follows a career spent as an exclusive contract performer. She expressed gratitude for this new phase of her career, noting that some companies, such as Jules Jordan, had been waiting for seven years to work with her. Sunderland reported that many companies were excited to bring her on and booked her extensively.

Her career began with a three-year contract as a Vixen star, where she was the original Vixen Angel in August 2016 and the first Vixen Angel of the Year in 2017. Following her time with Vixen, Sunderland held an exclusive deal with Brazzers for the subsequent three years. She described this new period as feeling like she is "starting all over again" after becoming accustomed to shooting for Vixen and Brazzers. Sunderland noted that she is now meeting new people, directors, and performers, which she finds refreshing.

Despite her new independence, Sunderland indicated that she remains open to working with VMG and ZZ, valuing her connections with both companies. She reunited with the ZZ crew at the Brazzers Spring Social before Memorial Day.

Career Background

Kendra Jane Sunderland was born on June 16, 1995, in Salem, Oregon. She is an American model and pornographic film actress. Sunderland became known as Library Girl after a webcam video featuring an amateur performance in the Oregon State University student library went viral in 2015. This event shifted her life from a college student to a recognized personality in the adult industry. She was expelled from Oregon State University and banned from campus due to the incident. She faced criminal charges for public indecency and a fine of over $6,000, ultimately pleading guilty and paying a $1,000 fine. Her parents stopped paying her tuition after she dropped out of school.

Before entering the adult industry, Sunderland had planned to become a counselor or an accountant but lost interest in traditional office jobs. During college, she worked at a diner in Lebanon, Oregon. She signed up for a webcam site in October 2014, earning hundreds of dollars per day. A user suggested she perform in a public place to earn more, leading to the Oregon State University library incident where she exposed her breasts and masturbated. An unknown person recorded and uploaded the video to Pornhub, where it went viral. Sunderland did not expect to use her real name in her pornographic career due to these circumstances. She later moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue a professional career in the adult industry.

In 2020, Sunderland signed a contract with the pornographic production company Brazzers.

Industry Impact and Future

Sunderland's return to the open market in May has generated a positive response from the adult entertainment industry. Her decision to become a free agent allows her to accept bookings for studio work from various companies, a change from her previous exclusive contracts with Vixen and Brazzers. She expressed happiness with the level of interest and the number of bookings she has received since becoming a free agent. The July issue of AVN magazine features a version of this story, written by Dan Miller.
