We couldn’t have done it without YOU! The Kimball Library thanks all the local merchants who helped make our Halloween Fest raffle the best! Kudos to the Atkinson Police Department, Shaws-Plaistow, Coldwater Creek-Manchester Mall, Rugs, Rolls, & More-Plaistow, Delta Cleaning Services-Plaistow, Murphy’s Garrison Golf Center-Haverhill, MA, Atkinson Resort & Country Club, Heav’nly Donuts-Haverhill, MA, Bunting Auto Body-Atkinson, Dodge Grain-Salem, NH, Brian Magoon, Edward Jones-Plaistow, Rich Barry of Treehouse Mortgage, Debbie Tringali of Prudential Verani Realty, Christine Latino of Mad Science, and Insurance Solutions Corporation. Hundreds of people traipsed through the building donned in Halloween garb, and some toted in decorated pumpkins. Many people bought raffle tickets, went on the haunted hay ride, got their hair striped by Thing 1, got their faces painted by wonderful teenagers, got popcorn and cider, played the donut game, made a craft, marched in the costume parade and more. Beyond our local merchants, let it be known that many people donated their time and money to make this a huge success. The Friends of Kimball Library spearheaded the project and individuals from all over donated their time and talents. It bears repeating – we couldn’t have done it without YOU.
We also thank our patrons for keeping our book groups alive and well. Here’s a little reminder for November. Traditionally, the morning book group meets on the 4th Wednesday of the month. This month because it falls right before Thanksgiving the group will meet on Friday, November 20th. Also, in December, this group will meet at a private home on Friday, December 11th, for some holiday cheer. Other December groups will meet on their traditional night. Check out the following: Tweens (middle school) will discuss Stormbreaker by Horowitz on December 2, Young adults (high school) will discuss Incantation by Hoffman on December 9, and the Evening group (adults) will discuss Anatomy of Deception by Lawrence Goldstone. More details on all these discussions can be found on Kimball’s Kibbles & Bits (electronic news), our website www.kimballllibary.com, or by calling us at 362-5234.
Please note that we will be closed on Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27 for Thanksgiving break. Have a lovely holiday.
