Kimball Library News 5/17/11

Consider this: You can enjoy beautiful artwork right in your community. Don Whittemore will have his artwork on display in the library meeting room from May 17th through June 13th. Take time to stop by and enjoy the show.

In 1979, Don began taking art lessons from a local artist. Once through the basics, and after completing several paintings with the instructor, he went off on his own. He read a lot of art history, visited museums, art galleries and shows, while at the same time beginning to develop his own style. Don currently volunteers at the Salem, NH Senior Services Center giving free, weekly painting lessons to emerging artists. He also offers a series of five weekly semi-private acrylic workshops for experienced artists currently using acrylics or any other painting medium for a fee. These take place in his home studio in Windham, NH. For those folks new to acrylics, the workshops will provide hands-on experience on how to work with this fast drying, versatile medium. Experienced acrylic artists will learn new methods and approaches to get the most from this wonderful paint.
Consider this: What would you do with an extra $500.00 a month? Dream about how to spend or invest it after coming to ‘Couponing with Chrissy’ on Thursday, June 16, 6:30-8:00pm. Seats are limited for this workshop and registration is required. Register early to avoid disappointment.

Chrissy is an Atkinson mother of three and has been “couponing” for years now. She was constantly trying to find ways to increase her household income. Then a high school friend said, “Spend less” and that’s how it all started!

There are tricks to using coupons. It is not as simple as finding a coupon for a product and clipping it. Chrissy teaches people the strategy behind coupons. The class takes about two hours and will start with the basics of “couponing.” It is not ‘Extreme Couponing’ as seen on TV. People on TV spend hours laboring over their “deals.” Chrissy spends two hours per week doing this for her family and has saved approximately $15,000-$20,000 in two years. Her family grocery bill was $180/week and now it’s less than $55/week. If you cannot make this class and want to learn how to save like this, you can email Chrissy @ CouponingWithChrissy@hotmail.com to set up your own class.

Consider this: ‘How much does it cost to see a movie at Kimball Library? Check out our great value: FREE Saturday Cinema on June 4 at 10:30am! We’re showing the greatest love story ever told with lawn ornaments on our big screen. Pack up the whole family. Registration is required, and waivers must be signed for children under 10 who are being dropped off. If you are under 6 an adult who brings you must be in the building.

Consider this: Kimball Library will be closed on Memorial Day weekend (Saturday, May 28-Monday, May 30). Two day loan items taken on Thursday, May 26, will not be due back until Tuesday, May 31.
