Kimball Library News 1/19/15


FEBRUARY WIGGLE WORDS: For children ages 3-6, you can make letters with your bodies, learn some alphabet sign language, run and jump to rhyming words, and dance, dance, DANCE!

Join Michelle Collins and other wigglers to combine letters and movement to jump start into literacy.  The combination of music and movement is a great way to cement sounds and letters and have fun at the same time.  This is a judgment-free beginning sounds class for a wide developmental range of children.  

Wiggle Words in February will be held on Thursday, February 5 at 1pm or Thursday, February 19th at 10:30am.  Please register for your preferred time (NOT both) so we can accommodate more children.  

TWEENS GO GRAPHIC: Novels, that is. ;)  The book discussion for Wednesday, February 4, at 6:30 for grades 6-8 is a graphic novel entitled ‘Drama’ by Raina Telgemeier.  Following the success of ‘Smile’, Telgemeier brings us another graphic novel featuring a diverse set of characters that humorously explores friendship, crushes, and all-around drama. This would be a great time for reluctant readers to join us as this book is not intimidating at all.  Refreshments, discussion, and fun will be served. It’s not school!  No worries if you didn’t finish the book.  You will still be able to contribute to the discussion.  All interested middle school students are welcome regardless of the town you live in. Just ask for a copy of the book at the front desk.

ONE MINUTE REMINDERS: We have some special events coming up that we don’t want you to miss!  Save the date for…’KnitWits’ (knit and chat) every Tuesday at 10:30am, ’Chocolate, the Perfect Drug’ presentation and sampling on Tuesday, February 11th, at 6:30pm, ‘Dabblers’ (crafters and painters) every Thursday at 10:30am, 'Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe' teen book discussion on Wednesday, February 12th, at 6:30pm, and ‘Anime Club’ for grades 6-12 on Thursday, February 12th, at 6pm featuring Japanese snacks, anime movies, and making friends.  Need more info?  Our calendar on the website has a plethora of information on these events and many others you may have missed reading about.

HOLIDAY HOURS: We will be closed on Monday, February 16th, observing Presidents’ Day.  Please stock up accordingly.
