Did you know that it’s possible to take books with you virtually anywhere? That you can even whistle while you physically work while you’re taken spellbound to another land? All you need is an MP3 player or an Ipod along with a library card and you have access to hundreds of audio book downloads from NH Downloadable Audio Books right off the www.kimballlibrary.com website. You can easily transport novels to your device and then you’re set to listen while you vacuum, take a brisk walk, travel on an airplane, or relax on the veranda. The website is excellent in the fact that it gives you easy step-by-step directions on how to download. We have yet to have a call from anyone who has actually attempted and not been successful. You’ll be surprised as to the variety of titles and genres. All you need to access these digital materials is a valid library card, internet access , a computer or device that meets the system requirements for the type(s) of digital materials you wish to check out, and free software for the computer or device on which you wish to use the materials available at this site. Check it out!
Hawke is a wonderful 7 year-old Labrador retriever who lives in Plaistow with her family and sister and brother Labs. Come meet Hawke, and her owner Barb, on Wednesday, September 16, from 4-5pm in the Children’s Room and learn more about dogs. Barb will talk about caring for her animals. Some of the topics may be how much food and water they should have, walking and brushing them, dog safety, and more. There is a lot to learn when you have a pet and this program would be fun and educational for pet owners and non-pet owners alike. Hawke is a certified therapy dog with Therapy Dogs International. Hawke has a history here and loves visiting with new and experienced readers, and she really enjoys her trip to Kimball Library. Come meet her and see.
Let's all make the winter a warmer time for lots of children in need. Please bring the little ones to “A Warm and Fuzzy Night” on Friday, September 25 from 6:30-7:30pm. This story night is sponsored by The NH Federation of Garden Clubs and the Kimball Library. There will be special readers and The Atkinson Garden Club will bring great cookies just for the program. Cold winter nights will soon be here! Please help children in our state stay warm and also learn about nature. Come to our story night and please bring along: a pair of warm children's pajamas (they must be new, warm, and flame retardant, all sizes will do), and/or a new nature or gardening children's book, paperback or hardcover, all age ranges. Please come in your PJs with your favorite stuffed animal. Please for admission to this program: BRING THE NEW PJS OR BOOK WITH YOU.
