 Welcome
to the Friends of the Kings
Park Library. The Kings Park Friends group was organized
in 1976, and has actively supported the Kings Park
Library since that time.
Over the years, the Friends have worked
to enrich the library experience of Kings Park
patrons. Children's programs have been a main focus
of the Friends group. Patrons are further greeted
and supported by beautiful stained glass window
hangings, computer and multimedia equipment for
the Library staff and patrons, shelving equipment
for display of materials throughout the Library, periodicals for
our diverse patronage, and murals and paintings
by our own unique artist, William Crockett.
