Have you been savoring our beautiful blue skies recently?
The Kingston Library book group will meet at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 2, to discuss “The Life of the Skies” by Jonathan Rosen. In this unshowy, profound, engaging book, Rosen uses attention to birds — the wild creatures we see most, as an occasion to meditate on art and wilderness, science and impulse, human nature and our precarious world.
The Kingston Friends of the Library meets at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, June 8, in the Indianola Room. The group will not meet in July or August, but will be quite visible at their book sale from 9 a.m to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 17, at the Kingston Farmers Market. Donations for the sale are accepted for the weeks prior to the sale.
From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 9, we will be hosting the County Weed Control Program experts for Noxious Weed I.D. Day. You can learn how to spot and stop these invaders. Plant samples for identification are encouraged.
Here at the Kingston Library, we are gearing up for our summer reading program, “Make a Splash!”
Please join us from 1-5 p.m. Monday, June 21, to sign up for the program and have fun at various water-related booths in the Kingston Room of the community center (next door to the library.) Our wonderful Friends of the Library have helped us with funding for this event.
The Classic Book Group will also meet at 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 21, to delve into the depths of the novel, “Siddhartha,” by Herman Hesse. It is perhaps the most important and compelling moral allegory our troubled last century has produced.
We will also be having a program for teens at 1 p.m. Wednesday, June 23: Game On! Meet your friends and play games old and new from DDR to board games. Snacks provided courtesy of the Kingston Friends of the Library.
A special treat, brought to us once again by the Kingston Friends of the Library, will be the infamous Reptile Man, Scott Peterson. Petersen and his reptilian friends will be with us at 1 p.m. Monday, June 28, for an afternoon of fun and education.
We look forward to seeing you at the library. Come in and check it out!
