Introducing Peas in a Podcast
Your favourite storytellers have a podcast! Join Kingston Frontenac Public Library's team of singing, joking, reading, moving and grooving programmers, and our friends, for a short podcast that will keep kids of all ages inspired and entertained.
In this month's episode, hear the Little Red Hen's story, jump from puddle to puddle, pick up a few facts about potatoes, laugh at our buzz-worthy jokes, and learn about a very special book with KFPL's Kathy and her friends!

May We Suggest: Honouring Earth
We're thankful for our home, Earth, and we know that one way to give thanks this Earth Day is to learn more about nature, climate, and the environment. These books will help you celebrate and honour our planet.
