When Kingston staff members had a chance to take a hard-hat tour of the Kingston Village Green Community Center under construction and get a glimpse of the new library, we were all amazed.

Our favorite elements include comfortable space in which to do our work and large windows to bring in natural light. We are so very grateful for this new building. I was so overwhelmed with excitement that I did not even think to take a single photograph. Fortunately, Glenn Wooten and Daniel Johnson have been providing the library with photographs to post on our bulletin board.

You still have time to be a part of this moment in Kingston’s history. If you are interested, please call or see me at the library.
