We had 122 registered children entering grades K-5 participate
in our summer reading participation challenge, and we gave out too many prizes
too count! We are thankful to all the
youth (preschool-teens) that participated in any of our events. We can only have a happy summer when you are
here. J
We are sorry to say that even though over 100 teens registered
for summer reading, they did not achieve the necessary 500 receipts in the jar
to win the Teen Lock-In. Better luck
next year—shhhhhhhhh, the secret to winning is to encourage your friends to
play the game, too! We did, however,
give out over 60 gift cards or passes via the teen raffle and lots of happy
teens were to be found here frequenting our events or checking out materials.
DONATIONS:
The
Town-wide Yard Sale is coming up in September 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) to our
collection, we then decide if it is to be sold or to be transferred to a
charitable 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 materials, please call ahead so we can be sure to assist you.
LABOR DAY WEEKEND: Kimball Library will be closed for Labor Day
Weekend (September 5-7)
Two day loan
DVDs checked out on Thursday, 9/3 and Friday, 9/4 will be due on Tuesday, 9/8. Stock up accordingly, and have a safe and
pleasant holiday weekend.
THANK YOU: Here’s shout-out to Loral Press who has
supported summer reading by writing us a generous check for the past 3
years! This year they paid entirely for
the chocolate event. Everyone gives you
big chocolate thanks!
