Renovation Update: Home Away from Home
|
We’ve got a temporary location!
In order to complete the final phase of our ten-year master renovation plan, Kingston Library is temporarily vacating our beautiful building at 55 Franklin St. After searching high and low for a location that meets the requirements of being in the city of Kingston, ample space to maintain our high level of services, and will provide
|
|
|
|
access to the majority of our collection so we don’t have to store too much, we’ve found an ideal space in the Cioni Building at 61 Crown St., AKA the former Kingston City School District Administration building!
Originally School No. 7, the Uptown Cioni Building is a close cousin of our beloved Franklin St. building, the former School No. 8, which was later renamed the Sojourner Truth School. We’re very grateful to have found a temporary home that’s such a natural fit from which we can continue to support our community.
We anticipate moving in October which gives owners William Gottlieb Real Estate time to update the Crown St. space to better suit our needs. As many folks have noticed, that work is already under way!
We’ll miss our Franklin St. building while we’re gone, so the Friends of Kingston Library and the Board of Trustees are working together to throw a fantastic sendoff party, stay tuned for details.

Sustainability Challenge:
Ditch Single Use Items
|
Why?
Globally, we produce roughly 310 million tons of plastic each year. That is 83 pounds per person, and plastic production is expected to quadruple by 2050! The material is everywhere, from clothing to computers, furniture to sport fields, and almost all of it is petro-plastic, made from fossil fuels.
A good portion of our plastic use goes towards single use
|
|
|
items such as plastic bags, food packaging, and disposable utensils. But it’s not just plastic, it’s also single use paper products such as napkins, paper towels, and more. Each of these items has an environmental cost. Single-use items in particular have a huge environmental impact, firstly because as the name suggests, they are made to use only once, which means after their short lifespan, if not recycled, they generally end up in the trash.
How?
Most of us use single-use items due to convenience. If we were to curb these habits of convenience we could reduce our consumption and waste. Here are just three single-use items to refuse…
Plastic Water bottles: 40% of all bottled water in the world, is actually just bottled tap water! 40% of all bottled water in the world, is actually just bottled tap water! Get yourself a re-usable water bottle, and install a filter in your home if you feel your water is less than adequate.
Single-serve Coffee Pods: Next to plastic bottles, single-serve coffee capsules are high up on the list of single-use items to purge from your life. The rise in the popularity of capsule style machines has seen our usage of capsules both at home and at work increase exponentially. Most coffee pods are not recyclable, and even the ones that are, need to be dismantled before they can be recycled (not so convenient anymore huh?). The more sustainable option is to stick to brewing coffee yourself. It’s a lot less money and a whole lot less waste.
Paper Coffee Cups: Paper coffee cups are like the equally evil sibling of single-use coffee capsules. How many of us buy a takeaway coffee on the way to work every day? even if you only buy one takeaway coffee a week, that’s still 52 disposable cups gone to waste over a year. There’s no excuse these days not to carry a reusable coffee mug with you whenever you buy takeaway coffee. They’re not expensive, and may even save you money as many eco-conscious cafes now offer discounts to customers who bring their own reusable mugs.
Want to learn more about plastic alternatives? Sign up for our Breaking Up With Plastic event on Thursday, August 10 • 6:30pm. Everyone who registers will receive a selection of re-usable items!

I Kick and I Fly
by Ruchira Gupta
On the outskirts of the Red Light District in Bihar, India, fourteen-year-old Heera is living on borrowed time until her father sells her into the sex trade to help feed their family and repay his loans. It is, as she’s been told, the fate of the women in her community to end up here. But watching her cousin, Mira Di, live this life day in and day out is hard enough.
But when a local hostel owner shows up at Heera’s home with the money to repay her family’s debt, Heera begins to learn that fate can change. Destiny can be disrupted. Heroics can be contagious.
It’s at the local hostel for at risk girls that Heera is given a transformative opportunity: learning kung fu with the other girls. Through the practice of martial arts, she starts to understand that her body isn’t a an object to be commodified and preyed upon, but a vessel through which she can protect herself and those around her. And when Heera discovers the whereabouts of her missing friend, Rosy, through a kung fu pen pal in the US, she makes the decision to embark on a daring rescue mission to New York in an attempt to save her.

Of Light and Shadow
by Tanaz Bhathena
Roshan Chaya is out for justice. Abandoned by her parents at birth and adopted by the kingdom of Jwala’s most notorious bandit before his brutal murder, she is now leader of the Shadow Clan, a gang of farmers-turned-bandits impoverished by the provincial governor’s atrocities and corruption. Roshan’s goal: to avenge her adoptive father and earn back rights and dignity for her people.
Prince Navin has always felt like an outcast. Second in line for the throne, he has never been close to his grandmother, Queen Bhairavi of Jwala. When a night out drinking with friends leads to his capture by the infamous Shadow Clan, Navin schemes to befriend Roshan and use her as a means to escape. His ploy, however, brings Navin closer to the corruption and poverty at the heart of Roshan’s province, raising questions about its governor and Navin’s own family.
To further complicate things, the closer Roshan and Navin get, the harder it becomes to fight their growing attraction. But how can they trust each other when the world as they know it starts to fall apart?

Second Chance Book Club: The Afghan Vampires Book Club
|
|
|
|
|
Saturday, August 5 • 3pm
Half Moon Rondout Café (36 Broadway)
We’ve chosen a book that follows the author’s viral bestseller. As readers, many of us scan the Bestseller Lists to find a new, noteworthy book…and then forget to keep track of the author’s career. Together, we’ll revisit some of these books and decide if we’ve stumbled on an overlooked gem, or if that author was simply a flash in the pan. Either way, we’ll all enjoy donuts, so there’s nothing to lose. August’s book is by Gary Barker, best known for The Museum of Lost Love.
|
|
|
In the 25th year of the US-Afghan War, US forces suffer their single largest loss: more than two hundred US soldiers are killed in a massive attack. Rumours circulate that one soldier made it out: Captain Tanner Jackson. The search for this lost survivor leads British journalist John Fox to a cave where Captain Jackson is held hostage by a combatant unlike any seen before. The Afghan Vampires Book Club is an edgy, political and thrillingly contemporary novel about America’s war in Afghanistan. The novel is a dark and satirical examination of the way the US treats its veterans, and of the ultimate foolishness of armed conflict and violence.
Looking ahead, September’s selection is Recitatif by Toni Morrison. See all dates and selections here.
No registration required. This event is for teens & adults.

Margaret’s Monthly Craft: Intro to Batik
|
Wednesday, August 16 • 6pm
Batik is an ancient fabric wax-resist dyeing tradition of Java, Indonesia. It is made either by drawing with a spouted tool called a canting or by printing the resist with a copper stamp called a cap.
The applied wax resists dyes and therefore allows the artisan to color selectively by soaking the cloth in one color, removing the wax with boiling water, and repeating if multiple colors are desired.
NOTE: this is a two-session craft. The second session is Thursday the 17th at 6pm.
Space is limited – registration required and opens on August 9 at 8am.
This event is for teens & adults.

Undaunted: How Women Changed American Journalism
by Brooke Kroeger
From Margaret Fuller’s improbable success to the highly paid reporters of the mid-nineteenth century to the breakthrough investigative triumphs of Nellie Bly, Ida Tarbell, and Ida B. Wells, Brooke Kroeger examines the lives of the best-remembered and long-forgotten woman journalists. She explores the careers of standout woman reporters who covered the major news stories and every conflict at home and abroad since before the Civil War, and she celebrates those exceptional careers up to the present, including those of Martha Gellhorn, Rachel Carson, Janet Malcolm, Joan Didion, Cokie Roberts, and Charlayne Hunter-Gault.
As Kroeger chronicles the lives of journalists and newsroom leaders in every medium, a larger story develops: the nearly two-centuries-old struggle for women’s rights. Here as well is the collective fight for equity from the gentle stirrings of the late 1800s through the legal battles of the 1970s to the #MeToo movement and today’s racial and gender disparities.

And Then He Sang a Lullaby
by Ani Kayode
August is a God-fearing track star who leaves Enugu City to attend university and escape his overbearing sisters. He carries the weight of their lofty expectations, the shame of facing himself, and the haunting memory of a mother he never knew. It’s his first semester and pressures aside, August is making friends and doing well in his classes. He even almost has a girlfriend. There’s only one problem: he can’t stop thinking about Segun, an openly gay student who works at a local cybercafé. Segun carries his own burdens and has been wounded in too many ways. When he meets August, their connection is undeniable, but Segun is reluctant to open himself up to August. He wants to love and be loved by a man who is comfortable in his own skin, who will see and hold and love Segun, exactly as he is.
Despite their differences, August and Segun forge a tender intimacy that defies the violence around them. But there is only so long Segun can stand being loved behind closed doors, while August lives a life beyond the world they’ve created together.
