The Frederic C. Adams Public Library is a historic library building at 33 Summer Street in Kingston, Massachusetts. Designed by Joseph Everett Chandler (1864–1945), a major proponent of the Colonial Revival style, the library was built in 1898 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The building ceased operation as a public library in December 1994, when the Town opened the new Kingston Public Library at 6 Green Street.
The building was restored, and rededicated as the Adams Center in November 2012. On March 12, 2013, the Kingston Board of Selectman created the Adams Center Board of Trustees "to secure optimal use of the Adams Center for the benefit of the Citizens of Kingston." Restoration has allowed the building to be used as a venue for multiple cultural events. The building is available for rental for group events, small conferences, corporate meetings, seminars and private functions.
