+**A comprehensive KiCad Library for the Raspberry Pi Pico** 🥧
+==============================================================
+
+### Providing footprints, symbols, & models for the module's various forms & implementations
+
+> *For the git submodule, see [Ki-Lime Pi To-Go][URL-Submodule]*
+
+
+
+***Features***
+==============
+
+- **KiCad 8.0 support** *(For KiCad 7.0 support, see [release 1.1.0][URL-Release-7.0-Support])*
+- **Schematics with alternate pin definitions** to select more specific behaviours for each GPIO, as well as specify power directionality
+- **Generic and specific footprints** for the Pico and Pico W
+  - Through-hole and surface-mount footprints with and without mounting holes
+  - Hand-solderable test points (ie. USB signals) in footprints with underside castellations
+  - Optional pin labels as an add-on footprint
+  - Optional keepout zone for 2.4 GHz RF on shared footprints
+  - Ability to add individual schematic symbols for sockets, and a virtual Pico for the BOM and rendering
+- **Diverse 3D models** for surface-mount, through-hole, and socketed forms of the Pico, Pico H, Pico W, and Pico WH using photorealistic materials
+- Majority adherence to the [KiCad Library Conventions][URL-KLC] version 3.0.41
+
+
+
+***How do I use this library?***
+================================
+
+> *If you want to include this library as a git submodule, check out [Ki-Lime Pi To-Go][URL-Submodule]*
+
+- Ensure you are running KiCad 8.0 or later *(For KiCad 7.0 support, see [release 1.1.0][URL-Release-7.0-Support])*
+- Download the most recent [release][URL-Releases] of the library
+- Unzip the file contents
+- If not already created, create a new KiCad project
+- Move the root library directory `RaspberryPi_Pico/` to a folder anywhere within your KiCad project
+  > *If using the library globally, move `RaspberryPi_Pico/` to a globally accessible location*
+- Open the relevant KiCad project
+- Select `Preferences > Manage Footprint Libraries...`
+- Select the `Project Specific Libraries` tab
+  > *If using the library globally, select the `Global Librarires` tab instead*
+- Click the folder icon in the lower left to `Add Existing`
+- Navigate to and select `.../RaspberryPi_Pico/Module_RaspberryPi_Pico.pretty/`
+- Click `OK`
+- Select `Preferences > Manage Symbol Libraries...`
+- Select the `Project Specific Libraries` tab
+  > *If using the library globally, select the `Global Libaries` tab instead*
+- Click the folder icon in the lower left to `Add existing library to table`
+- Navigate to and select `.../RaspberryPi_Pico/MCU_Module_RaspberryPi_Pico.kicad_sym`
+- Click `OK`
+
+To use, simply add a symbol to your schematic as you would any other; symbols should be located under the section `MCU_Module_RaspberryPi_Pico`, and footprints under `Module_RaspberryPi_Pico`.
+
+**You're all set to design exciting new circuit boards using the Raspberry Pi Pico! 🎉**
