Established 1899
The library has been working on a major renovation plan for the last 10 years.
We interviewed residents, business owners and civic leaders in 2013 to hear what the community wanted from their library. The library board listened to your input and created a master plan to give Kingston residents the library they deserve.
The initial stages of the renovation plan included the beautifully designed new Children’s and Teen Rooms as well as the improvements to the outdoor spaces surrounding the library.
