MUSEUM PASSES: Did you know we have a new
feature for access to the Currier Gallery of Art? Quite simply, anyone can
print his or her own pass now from home, after reserving a specific date. Of course, we still can print one out for you,
but the ease of doing it from your very own computer is now available. This
feature is currently only for the Currier, but it may become available for
other museums in the future.
Please note that we have the following passes available
for Kimball patrons on a regular basis: Currier Museum of Art, Museum of Fine
History, Museum of Science, New England Aquarium, Peabody Essex Museum, Seacoast
Science Center, Zoo New England, and Imajine That! You can also borrow certain passes from
Plaistow and Sandown libraries on the day of the pass use starting at 10am if
they are still available. Check each
library website for a list of available passes.
Don’t hesitate to call with your queries.
DROP
N’ SHOPS CONTINUED: Also back by
popular demand, Kimball
Library once again will be hosting three Saturdays in a row of our ever popular
‘Holiday Drop ‘n Shop’. Mark your
calendar now for the following dates and times so you can register your
children for December 6, 13, and 20 from 10:30am-12:30pm. We
are definitely “Santa’s Elves” for your **kids ages 6 and
up. We’ll occupy them with fun activities while you shop or
wrap gifts. Each Saturday will host a different teacher and unique
projects. Please send them with simple snacks and spill-proof
beverages. You’ll fa la la la la all the way home!
**All 'Drop 'n Shop'
participants must be at least 6 years of age to be left in the building without
an adult. Ages 6-9 must have an adult fill out a waiver on that morning
to be left here in our care. Children under 6 must be supervised by the
attending caretaker. Children ages 10 and up are allowed to stay without
an adult or waiver according to library policy. Thank you for your
cooperation. Residents only, please, for
this very popular event.
Details
for the second ‘Holiday Drop ‘n Shop’ on December 13 from 10:30am-12:30pm are
as follows: On the
second day of ‘Drop ‘n Shop’ my true love suggested to me... ‘Let’s get FROZEN’! Join us to watch the film and do
crafts based on it. Hint: Do you want to build a snowman?
If you or your child would like to see a sample of
the Saturday crafts, please drop by the library and see the projects for each
week displayed in advance. Stay tuned
here each week as we keep you informed as to each Saturday event’s details.
TIME FOR TEENS TO VOTE: It’s time to ask teens in grades 9-12 to
consider nominating a title for the 2016 Flume Award list (even as they are now
reading books on the 2015 list!).
Titles can be fiction or nonfiction books, with
appeal to teens in grades 9-12. They must have a publication date within the
last two years (no older than 2012). If the book is part of a series, it must
be able to stand alone, meaning a reader doesn't have to read the other books
in the series to understand what's going on.
Teens can submit their suggestions online by
visiting the Flume page: http://yals.nhlibrarians.org/book-awards/flume/ We will be accepting nominations until
January 23, 2015. Thank you for
promoting the Flume Award!
