Kimball Library News 10/20/09

Are you feeling lucky? Would you like to support a great cause? Did you save the date for Kimball Library’s HALLOWEEN FEST taking place on Friday, October 30th from 5:30-8pm? In conjunction with the Halloween Fest, a raffle fundraiser is available for you to purchase tickets for a chance to win prizes. Just some of the items to be raffled include 4 rounds of golf at Murphy’s Garrison Golf Center, Sunday brunch for two at the Atkinson Resort & Country Club, $50 Exxon/Mobil gas cards, wine baskets, money tree, Halloween candy basket, folk art, New England Patriots rug, Coldwater creek handbag, a state of NH inspection sticker from Buntings, and more! You can put tickets in for just the prizes you’re interested in winning and they can be purchased at the circulation desk—10 for $5 or 25 for $10. Winners will be drawn near the culmination of our Halloween Fest that Friday night, and you need not be present to win even though you’ll be having more fun if you do! All proceeds from the raffle will go toward purchasing a new sign in front of the building. Consider the ticket purchase as a donation, and maybe Friday the 20th will be your lucky night!

ATTENTION ALL GAME LOVERS ages 6-600! National Gaming Day is back, and this year it falls on Saturday, November 14th, from 10am-3pm. We are inviting ages 6 to 600 to join in the fun in various rooms throughout the building. Participate by playing or cheering folks on. Elementary age youth will be able to play Mario Kart in the Children’s Room while grades 6 and up can try out Wii Sports Resort in the Atkinson Room. Simultaneously, we will be running 3 board games as part of a national quest to discover how many people will play games on that day in participating libraries around the country. Drop in, play, and stay as long as you like. The board games (titles to be announced in November) will be played throughout the USA. Please come and be part of the movement.

Feeling crafty? Don’t forget to register for the two-part folk art workshop being taught by Ellen Witherell on Saturday, November 14 & 21, from 10:30am-1pm. The $30 cost to make a lovely decorative tray includes most supplies. Space in the class is very limited, but a check made out to ‘Friends of Kimball Library’ will reserve your seat and kit. For information and registration, call Carolyn Birr at the library (603) 362-5234 or Ellen Witherell at (603) 362-5655.
