Dear Friends,

After the re-opening of the Isabel Turner library branch last week, the Turner Friends are hosting a Book Drive to help fill our book sale shelves with books for our sales.

We gratefully accept books, DVDs, video games, board games, and puzzles in sellable condition.

If you have extra books lying around after your spring cleaning, puzzles you have already completed, or DVDs you no longer watch, please consider donating them at our book drive to give them a new home and raise money for our local libraries.

When: Saturday, 13 June 2026
Time: 9 am- 2 pm
Location: Isabel Turner branch

As always, thank you so much for your generous donations! 💕

Dear Friends,

The Central Friends have their Free Cart out again, but it won't be there for long! Every book on this trolley is free, so head in and check out the titles before they're gone forever 📚 it's our way to help reduce the amount of books that end up in the recycling ♻️

Happy reading! 😊 📚

Dear Friends,

The Central Library Friends are in need of non-fiction book donations for our book sales, which raise funds for all 16 branches of our Kingston Frontenac Public Library.

You can kindly drop off your gently-used non-fiction books at the Central or Calvin Park Libraries.

We also accept all other types of book donations, as well as puzzles, board games, DVDs, and video games.

Thank you so, so much for your generous donations and support. Happy reading, Friends! 🥰📚

Dear Friends,

Please note that Wright Crescent, the road on which the Calvin Park Branch is located, is under construction until further notice (likely, end of the summer). However, the Calvin Park Branch will always be accessible, and your generous donations can continue to be dropped off there for our FOL book sales.

The FOL relies on your donations to help support our local libraries and we appreciate your continued support 💕

At this time, we are especially in need of non-fiction book donations. Thank you so much for your generosity!

Happy reading! 📚😊
