Kimball Library News 3/16/10

In case you missed the memo, tweens and teens can add some fun and sense of community to their lives on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm. If you have questions regarding any of the teen programs, please take your queries to Kathy Watson, Teen Librarian. You may call the library at 362-5234 or email her directly at youngadult@kimballlibrary.com.

TWEENS Plugged IN (First Thursdays) ages 10 and up
We have Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and Mario Kart. We also are willing to use your Wii games with our console if they are age appropriate. Come in on the first Thursday of every month from 6:30-7:30pm for an open time of playing. Invite your friends and put the teen librarian to shame by challenging her to a game. PLUGGED IN is open to ages 10 and up. Try us out on April 1.

TEENS UNplugged (Second Thursdays) grades 6 and up
Join us here on the second Thursday of the month from 6:30-7:30pm to play party games, cards, or board games. We have a selection here, or you can bring something from home that you’ve been itching to play. UNPLUGGED is open to grades 6 and up. Bring your friends so we’ll have enough for the party games. We had a great time playing Balderdash in March. Try us out on April 8.

More TEEN INK – Writers Group (Third and Fourth Thursdays) ages 13 and up
Teen INK is a safe place for budding writers to flourish. Every third Thursday from 6:30-7:30pm we’ll gather to try some new techniques, work on whatever suits us (creative or required pieces), and hang out with other teens with this common interest. All teens ages 13 and up are welcome. This is a chance to practice your writing skills, learn new techniques, read what other teen writers are working on, and hear helpful comments about your own writing from your peers. All teens ages 13 and up are welcome. This is not a gathering for experts; it is a haven for trying out your creativity. We play with words and have a great time. Try us out on April 15 and 22.

Travel much? Now is your time! If you like to travel inexpensively, then pull up a seat with us on Tuesday, April 13 at 7pm and prepare to explore the wonders of Easter Island and Patagoni, Chile. Did you ever wonder why all those statues (moais) are on Easter Island or why it’s called the most remote place on Earth? Come to see and hear what the mystery of Easter Island is all about. Diane Heer, Director of Kimball Library and traveler, will also share her pictures from Southern Patagonia and Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. Book your ‘flight’ now on your datebook and prepare for take-off!
