    We were told on numerous occasions by different librarians that our dog is not welcome in the…read morelibrary. Each time we showed our documents which indicated that our dog is an emotional support animal. Each time we were then told by librarians that emotional support animals are not allowed in the library. Each time we then told the librarians to talk with their supervisor. The supervisor always confirmed that emotional support animals are allowed into the library. So after being treated unpleasantly by library staff, we always got to bring in our perfectly behaved dog. What made it more insulting was library staff telling us how our dog was supposed to behave. Our dog never bothered anyone. Our dog was always quiet. Our dog never destroyed anything. Our dog had impeccable manners. Library staff do not understand the difference between an emotional support animal and a service dog. Our dog was not a service dog. She was an emotional support animal. A couple of librarians were kind and understood. Unfortunately, most of the librarians made our experience unpleasant. So we have completely stopped going to the library. It is unfortunate that we cannot stop our taxes from going to support library services.

    It is a great place to relax and read a book, the staff are very friendly and helpful. It has a…read morevery organized book collection, the computers at each section help you find the book or books your looking for with ease. They have computers for rent and it is very easy to rent, they have a nice study area for students. It is very convenient for the university students to study at because of the close proximity to Queen's.

    The Agnes Etherington Art Centre is located in the middle of Queen's campus right past the very…read moreimpressive Theological Hall and Kingston Hall. The entrance to the centre had accessible accommodations and was well maintained (heavily salted!) for the slippery winter weather. Once we were inside, we were greeted warmly by the receptionist. Since we were first time visitors to the gallery, she walked us through a map and told us which exhibits were open or undergoing installations along with a short explanation of what each was all about. There is no admission fee but you can make a donation to the centre with no suggested amount. There is a small area for you to hang up your coats and belongings. There are also lockers with an electronic locking system available if you're here for a longer program. It was actually kind of hot in some of the gallery rooms so I'm glad I had somewhere to hang up my coat. The gallery is separated by exhibition rooms, some of which are curated by the students at Queen's. One such exhibit was the Quest for Colour: Five Centuries in Printmaking that had recently gone up. One of my favourites was the B-Side Agnes Etherington by Paul Litherland. It features a series of photographs of the backs of some of the paintings from the Agnes Etherington gallery itself. Overall I found that the wall labels for each of the pieces to be very helpful in knowing what to look for in a certain piece or to fully appreciate the artists work. The centre also is home to part of the original Agnes Etherington house. There are a few art pieces here as well as a grand piano that can be played by visitors on weekends from 1:00 - 4:50pm on a first-come, first-serve basis. All in all I spent about 50 minutes here taking my time to enjoy each piece. If you're on Queen's campus I'd highly recommend checking it out!

    Props to this place for staying open after Hallowe'en!…read morePretty much everything else in Kingston closes down. Students want to see tourist attractions too, and friends visiting students who are busy with student-type stuff kinda need these tourist attractions lol. TIP: Thursdays are free and they're open late! If you like Canada and like learning about Canada at all, you'll like this place. It's got an extensive collection of Inuit prints and sculpture, old-school sketches of Kingston and places called Upper and Lower Canada (which I know I learned about at one point, but seriously, Upper and Lower are non-intuitive place descriptors lol), and modern stuff featuring artists who suffered from AIDS or who migrated from South Korea or moved from their native reserve in rural Alberta to do humanitarian work in Rwanda. How cool is that?! Canada is awesome. Two of my favourite pieces were: A. This Punjabi-born, British-raised, now Canadian artist's depiction of the ... geez, it's gotta be more than 24 ... ways you talk about family relationships. Your wife's mother's brother's wife has a specific name. I would just call her ... "you"? lol B. Carole Conde and Karl Beveridge's staged photo series that's supposed to be a social commentary about cola's production chains having adverse effects on people worldwide. It's deep. It's so deep that I can't understand it and therefore can't explain it. My bad. And the Queen's students/alumni behind the desk are uber-helpful. It's a shame this place isn't more frequented, but I had a couple of hours of eerily peaceful browsing time, broken by this weird piece that screams at you to rotate it when you get too close. Check it out yo!
