I had hoped to be able to tell you in this article everything you need to know about our move from the current community center to the new Village Green Community Center at 12850 Dulay Road NE in Kingston.
However, the virtue of patience reigns this spring.
Below is a list of our events this month. Before heading to the library after the first week of April, please call 360-297-3330 or check KRL.org to confirm we are open. If you are unable to reach us via telephone during regularly scheduled open hours, please call the Little Boston location at 360-297-2670 for updated information.
