Our Library services are evolving!
When we started curbside pickup back in June, we asked you to disregard system emails – the ones from sirsi@ocln.sirsi.net – and wait for a staff member to call you about your holds.
Well, wait no more: email notifications are back!
Starting September 21, if we've got your email address in your library account, you’ll get an email, not a call, to let you know your holds are ready for curbside pickup. If you signed up for text messages, you’ll get those as an extra added bonus, along with either a friendly phone call or an email.
Your holds will be available for 7 business days after you're notified, so be sure to grab them as soon as you can. You can check on holds and manage your preferences in MyAccount in the OCLN catalog. As always, give us a shout at 781-585-0517 or send us an email at library@kingstonpubliclibrary.org

Next week begins our phased re-opening of the Senior Center, with limited programs being offered to Kingston Seniors! As we navigate this new way of welcoming friends back into the building, we want to remind everyone that the health and safety of our members, staff, and volunteers is always the priority, and therefore strict sanitation and social distance guidelines will be followed.
A limited number of exercise groups will begin, and some craft groups will be back in the building in small numbers. If you were a regular at the COA, but do not want to participate in the exercise or craft groups, we will be offering “Chat Groups” twice a week to provide the opportunity for in-person, socially distanced conversation with friends. All members wishing to attend ANY program WILL need to register, and will be asked a few health questions before they are allowed into the building. Mask are also mandatory while inside the building.
To register for a program, or for more information on activities and our re-opening procedures, contact Brenda Fitzgerald at 781-831-6042. We are looking forward to welcoming you back!
Kingston Council on Aging updated their info in the about section.
Kingston Senior Center Announces Plans for Phased Re-Opening
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KINGSTON, PLYMOUTH: Issued September 30, 2020: The Kingston Council on Aging (KCOA) has established a phased re-opening plan for the Senior Center Building which is set to begin the week of October 12th. Under the guidance set forth by Governor Baker, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the Town of Kingston, the Kingston Council on Aging will be offering the following programs for Kingston senior residents: Zumba®, 30/30 exercise, tap, chair yoga, needlers, quilters, oil painting, and chat groups. Group gatherings will be limited to 25 people or less per room, depending on room size, in order to allow for 6-foot social distancing. Guests attending programs will be asked a few health questions relevant to COVID-19 symptoms prior to entering the building and will need to adhere to the town’s mandate of wearing a mask or facial covering at all times.
Kingston seniors interested in program information should contact Program Coordinator Brenda Fitzgerald at 781-831-6042 for details and availability.
At this time, the KCOA is unable to offer all regular programming that was previously offered to the public but hopes that as the COVID-19 crisis conditions improve, additional programs and events can take place inside the Center. Staff will continue to offer transportation, Meals on Wheels, grab & go weekly meals, friendly phone calls and outreach services, as they have done since the building closed to the public on March 14th.
For the most up-to-date information about the Senior Center’s re-opening, please continue to check this page, as well as the KCOA webpage at www.kingstonmass.org, Send us a message if you would like to sign up to receive monthly newsletters and weekly email blasts.
