Please note: on July 9 only, Stories in the Square will not take place in the square/amphitheatre. Instead, we’ll be relocating to Sydenham Street to accommodate Buskerfest.

If temperatures (or the humidex) surpass 36°C, an air quality advisory has been issued, or rain, the program will be moved indoors to the Central Branch (130 Johnson Street). Notices will be posted on the KFPL website, and Facebook.

There is an accessible ramp located on the Brock Street entrance of City Hall that runs through the building and exits into the Amphitheatre.
