+"""Kafka library.
+
+This [library](https://juju.is/docs/sdk/libraries) implements both sides of the
+`kafka` [interface](https://juju.is/docs/sdk/relations).
+
+The *provider* side of this interface is implemented by the
+[kafka-k8s Charmed Operator](https://charmhub.io/kafka-k8s).
+
+Any Charmed Operator that *requires* Kafka for providing its
+service should implement the *requirer* side of this interface.
+
+In a nutshell using this library to implement a Charmed Operator *requiring*
+Kafka would look like
+
+```
+$ charmcraft fetch-lib charms.kafka_k8s.v0.kafka
+```
+
+`metadata.yaml`:
+
+```
+requires:
+  kafka:
+    interface: kafka
+    limit: 1
+```
+
+`src/charm.py`:
+
+```
+from charms.kafka_k8s.v0.kafka import KafkaEvents, KafkaRequires
+from ops.charm import CharmBase
+
+
+class MyCharm(CharmBase):
+
+    on = KafkaEvents()
+

+        host: str = self.kafka.host
+        port: int = self.kafka.port
