Just use google, quite a few resources out there.

Make sure you check that the footprints match up with the schematic symbols before getting anything fabricated, I have seen a few mistakes done in that aspect.

And you can always make your own symbols and footprint just use the 3D models from the web, it's quite easy once you get used to it.

I've been impressed with KiCadCloud (http://www.kicadcloud.com/) for KiCad libraries.  For some reason I can never find it via google searches, but it is an awesome resource when I remember the URL.
