Due to the popularity of
our preschool classes, starting in January of 2013 we are adding an additional
‘Kiddie Lit’ slot to the mix on Friday mornings. The first available class is on January 11,
2013. Crafts, music, rhyme, new friends and adventures into literacy will be
found during these classes geared for children ages 3-6. Try this new
class time starring our newest youth services teacher, Miss Celeste! Her class will be organized thematically and
you’ll be able to look online to see what the general theme for the day
is. Classes will be held on Fridays from
10:15-11:00am. If you sign up, we consider you registered for the entire
session. Please send us an email or call if you cannot attend. You
may be taking a space away from someone else. Thank you for your
cooperation.
You will probably be ready to take a little vacation after the flurry of
the holidays, and we have just the place for you to try. Mark your calendar for Tuesday, January 15th
at 6:30pm to travel to the Galapagos Islands.
Journey down to the equator and explore Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands
through the camera lens of Dennis Krause. He and his wife recently
visited the Galapagos with Lindblad Expeditions for an adventure of a
lifetime. Their voyage aboard the National Geographic “Islander”
traveled to seven different islands home to many species of mammals, reptiles
and birds. Each island was inhabited by a unique group of creatures
ranging from playful sea lions and sea turtles to primitive marine iguanas and
giant tortoises to colorful blue-footed boobies and magnificent frigate
birds. Follow in the footsteps of Charles Darwin and see up close and
personal what he observed years ago and what makes the Galapagos Islands the
very special place it is today. Join Dennis and his visual presentation
of his day to day experiences on this ageless group of islands…The Galapagos. Refreshments will be served on this unique
travel odyssey and, as most library events are - this program is sponsored by
the Friends of the Kimball Library.
Mah Jong Mondays has
been such a popular event on Monday afternoons that you may be dying to get in
on the action. Our initial fall class
was so full we had a waiting list. Now
the newbies are not so new and we have added a few more games so we can take a
few more registrations. The class size
will increase starting January 7th, but you can register now by
going online or by giving us a call. The
games are played every Monday afternoon that we are open from 1:00-4:30pm. For those who play each week, please note Mah
Jong will not be in session on either Dec 24th or 31st. See you in 2013!
Please be aware that the library will be closed for a few days
during the holiday season. We are closed
for Christmas on both December 24 and 25, but we will be open for limited hours
New Year’s Eve (10am-3pm) on December 31, and closed for New Year’s Day –
January 1. Happy holidays to all our
fantastic customers regardless of what traditions you are celebrating!
