There's no need to rush in after work or wait for the weekend to get to the library! All of our City of Kingston branches will join our Isabel Turner Branch in offering evening hours in May, making it easier for you to visit.

Early morning hours are also returning to Central, Calvin Park and Isabel Turner, and our Rideau Heights Branch will once again be open all day on Saturdays.

Beginning May 2, our Calvin Park, Central and Isabel Turner Branches will be open 9 a.m. to. 8 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Rideau Heights will be open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, plus 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday. And, beginning May 3, Pittsburgh will be open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Tuesday to Thursday, plus 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

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.
