Trying to add module to project. Plugin with id 'kotlin-android' not found

I am trying to add a epub reader library to a project I have already created. The library I am trying to add to my project as a moduel is the Folio Reader Library (https://github.com/FolioReader/FolioReader-Android). I have downloaded this library on my computer and have tried adding it through File -> New -> Import Module. However, during the process I receive this error:

ERROR: Plugin with id 'kotlin-android' not found.

This file is located in the build.gradle file of the Folio Reader Library.

build.gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
apply from: '../config/quality/quality.gradle'
apply plugin: 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

I have tried some of the answers posted here but they do not work. How can I solve this problem?

EDIT:

I added

classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.1.4-3"

in my dependencies and have received the following error:

ERROR: Could not get unknown property 'versions' for object of type org.gradle.api.internal.plugins.DefaultExtraPropertiesExtension.

it is occuring on line 20 on the same build.gradle file:

libraryVersion = versions.folioreaderSdk

updating to newer version does not work:

classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.3.40"
