The Kingston Frontenac Public Library is hosting several free events for children in Kingston, Ontario, from March 16 to March 20, 2026. These activities are meant to provide local families with low-cost ways to keep kids entertained and learning during their annual March Break school holiday.

This year’s lineup features a March Break Puppet Tour and various workshops that focus on science and nature. The library is working with partners like Let’s Talk Science and the Miller Museum of Geology to offer hands-on activities, such as teaching children how to make their own fossils.

Events are taking place at different locations throughout the city and surrounding area, including the Central, Calvin Park, Rideau Heights, and Sydenham branches. Additionally, a temporary branch at the Cataraqui Centre is serving the community while the Isabel Turner branch remains closed for major renovations until later this spring.

All of these March Break sessions are free of charge for local residents. These programs serve as a way for the library to act as a community hub for kids to learn new things outside of a typical classroom setting.
