Unlock imagination during KFPL's “Cabinets of Curiosity” March Break events

Open the doors to a world of wonder during March Break with "Cabinets of Curiosity" at Kingston
Frontenac Public Library (KFPL). From Monday, Mar. 11, through Friday, Mar. 15, KFPL will offer over 15
unique programs designed to ignite curiosity and foster a love for learning among children of all ages.
“Participating in library programs during the break is fun and engaging for children and encourages a
love of learning and exploration for all ages. With the Cabinets of Curiosity theme, children can discover
new things in a welcoming, inclusive environment — and it's all completely free,” said Brianne Peters,
Librarian, Children’s Services.

Most activities require registration due to high demand and limited space. Registration opens on
Saturday, March 2, at 9 a.m. and can be done online at calendar.kfpl.ca or by telephone at any branch.
Appropriate ages are noted for all programs.

Highlights of the week include:
Searching for Shipwrecks: Discover the world of shipwrecks with take-home STEM activities for ages six
and up. Kits will be available for pickup at designated branches starting Monday, Mar. 11.

Maple Syrup Math: Explore the mathematics behind maple syrup with a blue marble workshop for kids
ages eight to 12.

3D Printing: Children ages ten and up can register to learn the basics of 3D printing at one of two
workshops in Central Branch’s Create Space.

The Ordinary is Extraordinary: Find inspiration from Jane Yolen's What to do with a... series and unleash
creativity with simple materials.

Cabinet of Curiosities: The week’s theme brought to life! Explore a real-life assortment of curiosities
from times gone by. Provide your best guess at what the gizmos and gadgets were once used for, and
enter to win a prize.

Curious About Circuits: Create, play and invent with electronic building blocks. Kids ages nine and up
can register for one of two programs to teach them how to invent a voice-activated robotic hand. 

Puppet Show Extravaganza: Enjoy puppet shows at various locations across Kingston and Frontenac
County. Some shows require tickets; others are drop-in on a first-come, first-served basis.
Take advantage of this opportunity to spark curiosity and create unforgettable memories with your
family! For more information about March Break activities and other special events, visit the Programs
