It’s time! It’s time! It was weather-delayed, but it’s finally sailing time for ‘Traveling to Easter Island and Patagonia, Chile’ on Tuesday, April 13, 7:00pm-8:00pm. Best of all, you can do it from the comfort of the Kimball Library. 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 about 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. Get on board and get ready to soar. No registration is required and your guests are welcome.
It’s time! It’s time! It’s time for ‘The Home of the World’s WORST Weather!’ And yes, it’s worse than what we’ve had here lately. Eric Pinder, the New Hampshire writer for children and adults about science, nature and weather, will speak about the famous NH 'Worst Weather' place. Weather aficionados out there will enjoy stories from the Mount Washington Observatory where Eric Pinder lived and worked for seven years.
Mount Washington has the nickname 'home of the world's worst weather,' and he'll talk about what it's like for people and cats to live and work on the summit. He'll also share weather facts and jokes from personal experience, and from his children's book “Cat in the Clouds” and adult book, “Life at the Top.”
You can read Pinder's new essay about living in snow country in the January/February 2010 issue of New Hampshire Home magazine, and you can check out his website at www.ericpinder.com to learn even more about him. He'll also have his books available the evening of the presentation that’s taking place on Tuesday, April 20th, from 6:30-7:30pm, and he will sign them at our library. This program is geared for ages eight to adult. Please mark your calendars for this event.
