Join KFPL and Dr. Karen Lawford for a timely, engaging online discussion on Indigenous health and wellness. Sponsored by the Friends of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library!

Dr. Lawford is an Aboriginal midwife (Namegosibiing, Lac Seul First Nation, Treaty 3), a registered midwife (Ontario), and assistant professor in Gender Studies at Queen's University with an additional specialty in Indigenous maternity care. In this talk, she will discuss her research on gender-inclusive Indigenous experiences within the healthcare system. October 15 at 3 p.m., ages 13+, registration required.

Dyslexia, also sometimes referred to as "Specific Learning Disability" in reading, is the most common cause of reading difficulties. Research shows that it affects as many as one in five people.

Did you know that we have books with dyslexia-friendly fonts, and that you can select the same font in many of our cloudLibrary books? Dyslexia-friendly readers are books formatted to be super-readable, using a special font and spacing on thicker, tinted pages. We also have C-Pen Readers, portable, pocket-sized devices that read out text with a humanlike voice.

Are the hours of operation at your preferred branch meeting your needs? We are reviewing hours of operation at all 16 KFPL locations, and we want to hear from you.

This is your opportunity to let us know when you’d like to be able to visit branches, give feedback on digital collections, and share ideas for the Mobile Branch. This survey will be available until October 31 and should take less than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your input!
