Grownup Storytime (Online)

Grownup Storytime is back, but now in digital form until our branches reopen. Relax at home and listen to a couple of short readings -- short stories, essays, articles, excerpts and more. 

Mondays from 12 to 1 p.m., July 6 through August 17 (except the Civic Holiday on August 3).  Register now to receive the Zoom link!

Discover the natural world

Young naturalists can join Elizabeth for outdoor adventures on our Youtube channel. Our early episodes of Words from the Wild focused on different animals each week. We're expanding this summer to offer longer episodes that will include outings into the lakes and forests of Kingston Frontenac, plus visits by some special guests. Subscribe to our channel so you'll never miss an episode!
