Want to delve into a DaVinci Code caper? Feel like discovering the “hidden meanings” in well known paintings? If you’d like to test your art history “savvy”, check out the Kimball Library’s “Great American Art Caper”. For the month of September, Kimball Library will be showcasing famous American art adorning the library walls. View 18th, 19th, and 20th century artwork, probe for further information, find the hidden pictures (if you can find them…), answer key questions and show us your skills! All “Dan Brown”esque patrons can apply. Answers to the questions can be dropped in our official “answer jars”…and yes…there will be prizes!! A first, second, and third place winner will be picked at the end of September. So show us your knowledge of Historical American Art! This commercial presentation was brought to you by Carol Scherer, our resident in-house artist.
Is it your time to learn later and live greater? On Tuesday, September 15, at 6:30pm you’ll have opportunity to listen to Pelham, NH author, Nancy Merz Nordstrom, present a program based on her book “Learning Later, Living Greater: The Secret for Making the Most of Your 'After-50' Years. This is a book that will introduce people over 50 to the ideas and benefits of lifelong learning. It will challenge them to become involved in meaningful new avenues of productivity: educational programs, travel, community service and more. Nordstrom emphasizes learning for the sheer joy of learning and to stay mentally and physically active. She’ll tell us that her guidebook is “for transforming the after-work years into a richly satisfying period of personal growth and social involvement.” The program is sponsored by The Friends of the Kimball Library and is free and open to the public of all ages. It’s not too early to get proactive regarding the September years.
