Procrastinating the unfinished painting and craft projects in the house? Are you hoping to finish a few before Christmas? If you have painting and craft projects you would like to complete and would like the company of others, join the weekly painting & craft projects group. It’s great motivation to be with others who have the same desire. Stop in on any Thursday from 10am to 12pm and join the gang. Please bring your projects and the supplies needed.
Kimball Library will celebrate that the world is not flat by closing on Monday, October 11th, in recognition of Columbus Day (observed.) Two day loans taken on Friday the 8th or Saturday the 9th will not be due until Tuesday, October 12. Have a safe and happy holiday.
Mooove yourself over to Kimball Library on Thursday, October 14th, at 6:30pm and pay some homage to the NH bovine. Cattle were essential to the survival of the earliest New Hampshire settlements, and their contributions have been central to the life and culture of the state ever since. From providing dietary sustenance to basic motive power, bovines have had a deep and enduring bond with their keepers, one that lingers today and is a vital part of the iconography of rural NH. Where are NH's cows today? What are they doing for us now? Some answers will surprise you.
Our program is entitled ‘Cows and Communities: How the Lowly Bovine has Nurtured New Hampshire through 4 Centuries’, and our presenter is Steve Taylor. Taylor is an independent scholar, farmer, journalist and a long time public official. He operates a dairy and maple farm in Meriden Village, NH and served a quarter century as NH's Commissioner of Agriculture. He has been a newspaper reporter and editor. He was also the first Executive Director of the NH Humanities Council and is a lifelong student of the state's rural culture. This is a New Hampshire Humanities To Go Program and is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Kimball Library.
