Our industrious Kingston Friends of the Library will host a Book Sale at the Kingston Farmers Market July 21, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Find a book to treasure.

Also at the Farmers Market, you can listen to our youth services librarian or a library volunteer reading books during Story Hour around lunch time. Remember, youth up through grade 12 who read for 10 hours this summer will earn a new paperback book.
