Kimball Library News 10/06/09

Paul Wainwright is a photographer based in Atkinson, NH who works in a traditional manner utilizing sheet film, a large-format camera, and silver gelatin printing. His work has appeared in numerous juried competitions and solo exhibitions, and is included in the permanent collections of both private and corporate collectors, including Fidelity Investments and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. He is a mostly self-taught photographer who brings to his images an eye for space and light, subtle details, and an appreciation of history. He will be presenting a program on Thursday, October 15th from 7-8pm regarding some of the details of his marvelous work. Save this date and become educated and fascinated all in one.

He’s a man and a legend, and he’s coming to Kimball Library on Saturday, October 24th from 10:30-11:30am! Come hear about him and his love of apples. A gentle and kind man, it is told that he made his drinking water from snow by melting it with his feet. Johnny Appleseed was a friend to everyone he met. Indians and settlers -- even the animals -- liked Johnny Appleseed. His clothes were made from sacks and his hat was a tin pot. This program is intended for kindergarten age and up. Be sure you do not miss him as he is not often around these parts.

If you are not prepared to make your clothes from sacks or wear a tin pot for a hat, and if your career has been downsized in our troubling economy, or you want to be prepared for the 'if and when', come spend some time with Susan Henry on Wednesday, October 28th, from 6:30-8pm. Susan is a resident of Atkinson, NH and a Certified Career Development Advisor. She holds a BS in Human Services & Psychology (Springfield College) and Master's Level Certification in Career Development (Plymouth State). She plans to address the following: how to survive a job loss, latest trends in the online job search market, how to create a resume that will be read and acted upon, why we still need cover letters, creating and honing your personal network, the best online search engines, and how to prepare for that crucial interview. If time permits, she’ll be glad to give a 10 minute critique of your current resume.

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us! (to the Kimball Library HALLOWEEN FEST taking part on Friday, October 30th from 5:30-8pm.) Family fun for all-SAVE THE DATE!
