Pick up a beach read this summer!
A beach read often does have a vacation theme. Sometimes the setting is on an island, a beach, or camping and hiking in the wilderness. But can you be captivated by a book that has nothing to do with vacations and warm weather? Yes.
So is any book that captures your full attention and compels you to read for hours a beach read? Absolutely.

Visit the PumpHouse Steam Museum with your KFPL card
Step into The PumpHouse, Kingston's first waterworks in operation from 1851 to 1952. Today, this magnificent building continues to serve the public as a community museum, which you can now visit with a pass borrowed from KFPL!
This pass will admit up to five individuals to the museum and gallery site during regular operating hours.
