Our casual book discussion mixer, "Book Chat", returns for a second December date on the 16th of the month. We will be continuing our discussion about our favourite books of the year!

When we think of the vocal arts, we tend to think of singing – it is sonically pleasing, broadly accessible, and widely popular. But what about other vocal arts and practices, to which some dedicate themselves with all of the passion and hard work of the most celebrated singers. Are bird calls, auctioneering, ventriloquism, and sound healing somehow the products of a lesser commitment to craft? Kingston Frontenac Public Library, King Con, and the Tone Deaf Festival are pleased to announce a special Kingston-edition of comics author and artist, Georgia Webber’s immersive concert series, “MAW,” which celebrates the human voice in all its permutations. Register now for this special event!

Photographer and adventurer Lola Reid Allin winds up her trip through the Akshayuk Pass, in Nunavut’s Auyuittuq National Park on Baffin Island.  Follow her trek each week with stunning photos, released every Monday through the KFPL Instagram account.  Armchair travel at its best!  #TrekTheAkshayuk

Mondays through December 14.  

We've been preoccupied by the pandemic, but the climate crisis is still here.  Learn what Kingston is doing to address the climate emergency -- at home, at work, in our streets, and beyond -- and how each of us can help.  This is the second of two online workshops with Jeremy Milloy of the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Office of the Sisters of Providence, rescheduled from November 12.  Also open to those outside of Kingston/Frontenac.  Register to receive the Zoom link.  Thursday, December 3 at 6:30 p.m.
