Looking for something good to read this holiday season? At KFPL you can receive book recommendations from library staff via May We Suggest and from teenage volunteers via the Teen Review Board. 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 you can read some of the highlights! For more information about the Teen Review Board, or, to volunteer, please visit this website.

This fall the Community Foundation for Kingston & Area released its report on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and what is being called the "public health crisis of our time". ACEs are negative and traumatic childhood events that are now associated with many lasting physical and mental health risks. The full report can be found on the CFK&A website.

KFPL has pulled together a list resources that address the issue of childhood trauma. Are we missing something? Please contact us.
