Welcome to Friends of Kingston Library
Kingston Library provides great resources for research, learning, and enjoyment for local residents, but the library can get only so far on tax money. That’s where Friends of the Kingston Library comes into play.
Through various volunteer and fundraising efforts, Friends of the Kingston Library works hard to improve every aspect of the library, including the facilities, the collection, and the programs offered. All of us in Friends appreciate the cultural and educational value of Kingston Library, and we hope you’ll join us in helping to make the library the best it can be.

Grant Awarded from the Kingston Rotary Club
Did you hear?FoKL was provided an award from the Kingston Rotary Club for our upcoming Spring initiative! To underscore our Kingston Library outreach and engagement efforts, your Friends of the Kingston Library (FoKL) is looking to design and create a Mobile Little Free Library as part of our 2025 plans. The Kingston Rotary Club has partnered toward this grassroots initiative to bring this “one-of-kind learning opportunity” to local community events, offering the same Little Free Library (LFL) services as our stand-alone boxes: take a book, leave a book. As the Mobile Little Free Library moves throughout Kingston, our mission is to enrich many more lives by inspiring children to explore and discover the possibilities of the written word.
Please stay tuned to the development of this resource and when we officially launch our newest endeavor!
