Freedom to Read Week (Feb. 23 to March 1) is an annual event that encourages Canadians to think about and reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom. To mark this significant week, KFPL has teamed up with Queen’s University Libraries, St. Lawrence College Libraries, and Massey Library, Royal Military College of Canada/ Bibliothèque Massey, Collège militaire royal du Canada to host a Freedom to Read-a-Thon.

Join us at the Central Branch to hear community members, library staff and local leaders read excerpts from books that have been previously banned or challenged.

The workshop will explore the various types of compost, their pros and cons and why composting is a crucial step in protecting the environment. Participants will receive a take-home, easy-to-use, mini composting system.

Chat with good company at the Talking Café, hosted by Compassionate Communities Kingston and KFPL! We all need social connections, Talking Café invites community members to participate in informal discussions guided by a host.
