The Kingston Public Library Foundation
The Kingston Public Library Foundation supports the Library through fundraising. Funds are used primarily to purchase books and other library materials, and have been instrumental in helping the Library retain state certification during the recent years of reduced municipal funding. You can support the Library and the Foundation by responding to fundraising mailings, making donations at the Library, or giving online at www.kplf.org. We are grateful for every donation, large or small.
