Looking for something good to read? At KFPL you can receive book recommendations from library staff via May We Suggest and from teenage volunteers via the Teen Review Board (TRB). The TRB is comprised of teens who love to read, watch movies, listen to music, and earn volunteer hours by reviewing library materials for KFPL’s website. This year we received more than 90 reviews from Kingston and Frontenac youth, and below are some of the highlights! For more information about the Teen Review Board, or, to volunteer, please visit this website.
