Thinking about spring
cleaning? Kimball Library accepts book
donations year round, but twice a year we urge you to clear out those you no
longer want and bring them in to us. The Town-wide Yard Sale (Saturday,
May 18) is coming up and we’d like to have a large selection for folks to
peruse and purchase. These items take some time to be sorted through
which is why we are asking for them now. We accept books, music, and DVDs
in good condition. Please be sure books are not moldy or damaged and that
music and movies are playable the entire way through. We do not accept
any magazines, text books, encyclopedias, or Reader’s Digest condensed
books. When we receive your donation, we first sort through to see if
we’d like to add any of the items to our collection. If we don’t add the
item(s), we then decide if it is to be sold or transferred to a non-profit
organization. Please take care to recycle your unwanted items by helping the
environment and your local library. Donations can be received during open
hours from Monday-Friday (10-8) and Saturday (10-3). If you have large
amounts of material, please call ahead so we can be sure to assist you and meet
you at the back of the building.
The ‘Friends’ Book &
Bake Event on Saturday, May 18th, will have lots of great adult and children’s books for sale. Most
adult books are $2.00 or less and children’s books are under $1.00. DVDs, VHS videos and music are
$2.00 or less. Audio books will be
priced individually. There will be “Special/Collector
Books” for sale, and each book from that list will be priced
individually. There will be a great selection
of home baked goods and yard sale items. Come early for the best
selection as items do tend to go quickly. We will be selling from 8am-3pm.
This event is sponsored by ‘The Friends of the Kimball Library’ who support
many wonderful programs such as “Summer Reading” which is right around the
corner. Your patronage at these events
really matters to us.
Here’s
a brief reminder that we have a little something for kids ages 4-8 every Friday
night until summer vacation. PJ Peeps
are at 7pm and we have some stories and a goodnight snack ready for the
children. PJ Peeps are welcomed to come
in pajamas and bring their friends.
Registration is not required.
We
will be closed Memorial Day weekend (Saturday, May 25 through Monday, May
27.) Two day loan items checked out on Thursday the 23rd will not be due
back until May 28th. Take advantage of the extension and have a safe
and happy holiday weekend.
