The Joe Chithalen Memorial Musical Instrument Lending Library (Joe's M.I.L.L.) is a registered charity in Kingston, Ontario founded by Wally High in memory of Joe Chithalen, a popular bass player in Kingston.  The charity's essential purpose is to operate the library of the same name.

Joe’s M.I.L.L. currently has over 300 items available to borrow and enjoy - and just like a regular library, it's all free!  Roger Eccleston is the head librarian.

JOE'S M.I.L.L. AT THE SUNDAY ANTIQUE MARKET
With thanks to M.I.L.L. volunteer Jan Singleton, Joe's M.I.L.L. has a booth every Sunday at the Antique Market in Springer Market Square behind Kingston City Hall!  It's a great spot to learn more about what we do, plus pick up some M.I.L.L. t-shirts, hats, CDs and more!  Plus, each week, we feature a different busker who will donate half of their earnings to the M.I.L.L.

TRACKS OF KINGSTON:
Volunteer Monika Slack has recently spearheaded an amazing project called Tracks of Kingston, a 20 song collection of some of Kingston's best talent!  Please visit the site and pick up a copy today, all proceeds support the library! CDs are available at Joe's M.I.L.L., and many other locations around town.  Thanks again to Monika and all the artists, sponsors, supporters and volunteers who helped put this together!
