The tulip magnolias and the Bradford pear trees at the Library have set their buds for spring, but we still have weeks of winter ahead of us. We invite you to join us at the Library for a little warmth and community! Maybe you'll attend some of the programs and classes you read about below, or come and read the papers, or help finish the jigsaw puzzle. If you really, really don't want to venture out, then you might take advantage of some of the digital offerings, like downloading music, books, and movies through Hoopla or Libby, or reading a magazine online through RBDigital. We're happy to help you get started. Mark your calendars for the Beyond Words Gala on April 3rd. It has been three years since the last Kingston Public Library Foundation gala -- if you went to that one, you'll remember how much fun it was, and how many lovely surprises there were. The fundraising focus this time is on upgrading the Children's Room. We hope you'll come and join in the fun, for a great cause. Please read on, for more of what your public library has for you!
