About Kingston Public Library
History

The present site of the Kingston Public Library opened in 1992 under the directorship of Betty Keiling. Prior to moving to its present site, the library was located in the community center for a number of years, and before that, in a small building adjacent to the high school.

Ms. Faye Cole, who is a part-time employee of our library, has been with the system for 27 years.
