Kimball Library News 6/30/09

Imagine a large horn calling and reminding ALL KIDS, TEENS & TWEENS to register, read, and participate in all our exciting activities. Visit our website (www.kimballlibrary.com) to see details and if registration is required. Listed below are just a few things you can try.

‘Summer Reading’ entertainment that's sure to keep the entire family off their seats will ‘magically’ be appearing on Thursday, July 9th, from 6:30-7:30pm! Make plans to see Peter Boie, Magician for Non-Believers! He started learning magic at age eleven from a magic book he checked out of his local library. That interest turned into a career as a professional magician that has taken him around the country. From kids to teens, parents and grandparents, everyone will enjoy Peter's show. There's lots of magic and comedy, and audience members actually become a part of the show. Be sure to save this date! It's a winner!

For the middle and high school crowd on Fridays, this is your time to use the large meeting room and big screen to play Wii with your friends. (Or make some while you're here.) Registration is required as we won't set up the equipment if we're not sure you plan to come. Mark this on your calendar in advance and get your friends to play, too. They do not have to be Atkinson residents, but they need to register just like you online. If you register in advance and play for the entire time, you can add your name to our weekly raffle drawing for teen summer reading prizes if you are enrolled in TR2. Try any Friday in July from 10:30am until noon, and don’t forget to pre-register on our online calendar.

TR2 Update: Over 50 teens have registered and now tickets for items read are starting to come in. The Tr2 participants need 500 tickets in the jar by August 4 to make the teen librarian highlight or stripe her hair purple. Can they do it?
