Summer reading is continuing to roll along, and we still are taking registrations on a daily basis. Register to take part in ‘One World, Many Stories’ for kids, or the teen summer reading program for tweens and teens entering grade 6 through age 19, ‘You Are Here’. Please note that most activities require registration and that the registration closes 24 hours before the event starts.
'One World, Many Stories' on Thursday, July 7th, from 4:00-5:00pm is heading to ‘Japan! Don’t Forget Your Passport!’ According to the children’s librarian, there are a few things to think about when visiting Japan: 1. Remember to take off your shoes or slippers when you enter a house. 2. Please bow to show respect to others. 3. Slurping your noodles tells everyone you're enjoying them very much! 4. You may be required to use chopsticks when eating! Learn more about Japan and its customs, food and games at this program. You’ll have plenty to do! See beautiful Japanese clothing, make an Origami crane, and sample Japanese foods and tea. Summer Reading Kids from K-Gr.5 are welcome to sign up. Registration for this event closes July 6, at 4:00pm.
‘Kimball Library Writing Group’ (dubbed by me as ‘Writers Ink’ until they name themselves) is an active group that meets on the second Monday of the month. In July the focus will be on military stories. This does not have to be first-hand experience with the military but should have a military theme. Each writing session will be facilitated. The writing theme will be different each month and decided on by the members of the group. All are invited to come on Monday, July 11th, from 6:30-8pm. This is a judgment free zone for writers of all levels.
‘You are Here’ on Tuesday, July 12, from 6:30-9pm showing off your cooking/assembling skills and seeing a ‘What’s Cooking?’ movie. The 'No-Bake, Bake-Off!' rules are fairly simple. You can either make a drink, an appetizer or dessert. It has to be primarily made in the library and you can use the microwave to heat up your creation. If you want to do some prep at home that is acceptable. You may bring in your own blender. You have thirty minutes to create your entry. You may work alone or with a partner, and you must be sure to bring everything you need for materials. The judges will use presentation, creativity and tastiness as their criteria and rate each category on a scale of 1-5. At the end of the competition, the highest score wins a 'cheap and worthless' prize. After the contest we'll watch a cooking movie. Teens who do not want to be in the contest, but want to just watch the movie, are welcome. The movie will begin around 7:15pm. This is a 'YOU ARE HERE' teen summer reading event. Participants should be entering grade 6 up through age 19. Registration will close 24 hours before the event.
'One World, Many Stories' on Thursday, July 14th, from 4:00-5:00pm is heading to ‘Away We Go to Mexico!’ Hola! If there's one thing you can say about Mexico, it's a fun place! From ancient cultures, colorful celebrations and delicious food, there's always something new and interesting to find out about Mexico! You will be able to create Mexican foil art, color with markers, and then add beads. Won’t it be fun to eat tasty Mexican foods and play a Mexican game? This is a Summer Reading Program where kids ages 5-10 are included. Registration closes Wednesday, July 13th, at 5:00pm.
