KFPL welcomes submissions from self-published and independently-published authors, especially local authors, who wish to have their books added to the library collection. We ask that authors interested in submitting their work first use the web form below to tell us more about the title. Please do not send the library any unsolicited materials as they will be recycled without response.

To be considered for inclusion, all submissions must meet the selection criteria outlined in our Collection Development Policy.

We are happy to welcome groups into our branches!

For those who prefer to visit us virtually, we've created a Virtual Tour for elementary school classes to help introduce students to our library. We recommend that teachers pair the tour with one or more of the educational programs on our Youtube channel, such as a puppet show or Words from the Wild.

We welcome classes to book up to two visits each school year.

We would be happy to help your group connect with appropriate library resources. To book your visit, please complete the form below. Questions? Please contact our Manager, Programming and Outreach for assistance at 613-549-8888 x3525.

Fill out the Contact Us form with your contact information and the details of your comment, question or request. There are also specific forms to Book a Group Visit or Suggest a Program or Event. For expected response times and other information, see our Service Feedback Standards.

The Kingston Frontenac Public Library tries its best to provide a robust collection to our community. However, there will be times when an item is not available, out of print, or doesn’t fit within our collection policy guidelines. If that’s the case for a title you want, we can try to borrow the item on your behalf from another Canadian library through our Interlibrary Loans service.

For details about this service, please refer to the information found on the Interlibrary Loans page.

Repair It! Online Submission for Items in Need of Repair

Thank you for your interest in bringing an item to the upcoming Repair It! session. We encourage you to register for the event and bring your item in case our fixers are able to accommodate walk-ins.

Please remember that we cannot accept items that use petroleum.

Questions? Please contact Kristen Lemay, Teen and New Adult Services Librarian at klemay@kfpl.ca.
