Get out your paper sack and you’re halfway ready for the Brown Bag Book Club that is geared for children in grades 2-4. This month’s title is ‘Eve of the Emperor Penguin’ by Mary Pope Osborne which is book #40 in the Magic Tree House series, and the discussion time is on Monday, January 28th, from 4:30-5:30pm. This book club is held on the 4th Monday of the month. Books are available at the children's desk for you to pick up in plenty of time for reading. Your child can read this on his/her own or you can read it in tandem. We always provide the dessert and drinks while we talk about the book we're reading. Have your child’s supper in a bag and give it a try.
This is just a reminder
that you don’t have to start at the beginning of a session to take part in our
preschool classes. We currently have 3
sessions of Kiddie Lit (ages 3-6 on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and a NEW class on
Friday), Bitty Books (ages 2-3 on Tuesdays), Mother Goose on the Loose (infants
to age 2 on Mondays), and book discussions for 3 distinct age groups: teen~
grades 9-12), tween~ grades 5-8, and Brown Bag Club grades 2-4. Please register for these classes. Also remember that we have PJ Peeps for ages
4-8 every Friday night, and you may drop in with pajama-donned kids at 7pm for
a story and snack.
Another reminder is that we are very fortunate to have some beautiful photography by Ron
Wybranowski currently being displayed in the library. Ron is a
serious amateur photographer just starting to publicly display his work. His
primary focus is on nature photography, with a goal of capturing singular
images of the beautiful scenery, flowers, birds and animals which surround us
all. Ron has very generously
offered to raffle one of his photographs from the exhibit. The winner can
pick which photo they would like and he will mat & frame a 16X 20 for them. Raffle tickets are $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00.
The winner will be drawn on Monday, February 4th at 3:00 PM. All proceeds go to the Friends of the Kimball
Library for library events and programs.
The
exhibit "Impressionism in Photography" has been on display in the
library since late December. On Tuesday, February 5 at 6:30pm, the
photographer, Ron Wybranowski, will be here to discuss his work. He will
talk about how he has expanded his photographic view from clear, sharp, in-focus
images of nature and wildlife to include these diffused and brilliantly colored
images of many of the same scenes.
The techniques used are very long exposures, sometimes aided by multiple neutral density filters, and panning the camera either horizontally or vertically to gather the sweep of the scene. The subject matter remains much the same: sunrise, sunset, the seashore, forests and fall foliage. This impressionistic approach requires new "eyes" to see a final image which evokes a much more emotional response. The 10 images in this exhibit are the result of those efforts. Ron will talk about the images on display and where, when, and how these and others were taken. He will also present two short slide shows of his other work.
