Kimball Library News 10/19/10

Where can you go to get energy efficiency information? You can enter the Kimball Library on Saturday, November 6, from 10am - 1pm and participate in the Atkinson Energy Fair. Rotating 10 minute presentations will include: MyEnergyPlan.net by Julia Dundorf from Clean Air Cool Planet; Unitil's energy efficiency, audit and rebate programs; Atkinson's energy audit grant award and project plan overview; and current rebates, tax credits and incentives (state & federal). Light and energy efficient refreshments will be served.

Where can you go and get free samples of morning coffee and teas from around the world, buy delectable pastries, and shop among friends for unique jewelry, pottery, multimedia and original artwork by local artists, exquisite handmade sweaters for all the family, quilted items, gifts for pets, children’s books, gourmet edibles, drink mixes, floral arrangements and gifts, greens for the holidays and more? You guessed it! The annual Peddlers Market, sponsored by Friends of the Kimball Library, will be held on Saturday, November 6, from 9am to 3pm at the Atkinson Community Center, 4 Main St., Rt. 121, Atkinson, NH. The ‘Friends’ are proud to support Yankee ingenuity and the entrepreneurial spirit to present a variety of artisans, crafters, and gourmet peddlers in time for holiday gift giving. You can avoid that crazy mall for a relaxing time of indoor shopping. Surprises may be in store, so drop by and make holiday browsing and purchasing a fun experience.

Where can you go to connect and get your game on? It’s back for the third consecutive year— National Gaming Day @ Your Library on Saturday, November 13th, and we will be celebrating again this year at Kimball Library. Games will be in various locations throughout the library and throughout the USA in participating libraries. Board games as well as Wii will be available. Please note that we are limiting participation in Wii to school age and up. Come for all or part of the day! You're also welcome to bring your own game from home and teach someone to play it with you. Bring friends or come make some new ones! Adults are encouraged to set the example by playing games and trying new ones. Last year one of our ‘over 70’ patrons beat a group of teens in Wii bowling, so gaming is NOT just for the young, but clearly for the young at heart. Our electronic gaming stations and board game play will be open from 10:30am-2:30pm. Mark the date and join the fun!

Where can you go for literature discussions? Weekly story times exist for babies up through age 9 on the following weekdays: Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Please call the library 362.5234 or visit our website www.kimballlibrary.com for age groupings and times. Also, monthly book groups exist for children in grade three through age 103. Again, please check our online calendar or call the library for book titles and dates of discussion. All are open to the public.
