Kimball Library News 11/27/12



There’s still time to sign up for the ‘Holiday Drop ‘n Shop’ on December 8th as well as December 15th.  For two hours we will entertain your children with a movie, craft, and some stories.  Registration is limited so please sign up early to avoid disappointment. 

Details for the third ‘Holiday Drop ‘n Shop’ on December 15 from 10:30am-1pm are as follows:  On the third day of Shop and Drop the elves have whispered to me...  Let's make a holiday themed tile decoration!”  Santa's elves will be helping your children make this beautiful item.  The Elves will bring all the supplies to make a holiday scene on tile then seal it with some sparkling modge podge.  If you or your child would like to see a sample, please drop by the library and see the craft on display in our lobby.  

The movie selected for the December 15 “Drop ‘n Shop” is: ‘Annabelle’s Wish’.  This heart-gladdening holiday story tells of a calf and a troubled young boy who exchange their most impassioned Christmas wishes. ‘Annabelle's Wish’ is narrated by Randy Travis, and carries a holiday message of grace, goodness, and hope. The assortment of characters will appeal to preschoolers, but the message of decency and friendship is ideal for grade-schoolers.  This movie runs for approximately 53 minutes.
