BOXWOOD TREE: We are kicking off the
holiday season with the ever-popular boxwood tree craft. We will once again be having Felicia
Motherway at the library teaching this beautiful art. We’re having it on two
separate evenings so more of you can enjoy this wonderful activity. On Tuesday, December 1st from 6-8pm
OR Wednesday, December 2nd from 6-8pm we are offering seats to learn
how to make a beautiful fresh boxwood tree to enjoy for the holidays.
The
boxwood tree is an elegant design made out of boxwood and decorated with velvet
ribbon, gold glass balls, berries and natural gypsophila. This popular
centerpiece will last for months and is perfect for your home or for those who
want a small holiday tree to enjoy. It’s
also a great gift idea. Even the lowly ‘craft-impaired’ will leave with a
tree that looks like it was professionally done. Felicia does not let anyone leave who is not
happy with his/her tree.
Reservations are required as each class is limited
to 20 people. Materials fee of $35.00 must be paid in advance in order
for your registration to be secure. Please sign up at the circulation desk with
your cash or check made out to Felicia Motherway. Phone registrations will not be accepted.
AN HOUR OF CODE: The hour of code is a family event coming
to Kimball Library via the Sylvan Center in Salem, NH as part of a movement to
enrich and educate during National Computer Science Week. You'll be virtually joining other students
all over the world. Your school age child will learn some computer programming
through fun and engaging activities.
Join Sylvan and Kimball Library for the movement by registering and
coming to this 'BYOD Hour of Code' event on Tuesday, December 8, from
6:30-7:30pm.
There will
be a total of ten devices available from the library and Sylvan, so if you have
any device or gadget that you can use to connect to our public Wi-Fi, please
bring it. This will leave those for the less
fortunate 'device-less' youth to use. (BYOD=BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE if possible)
This event
is being held in partnership with 'Sylvan of Salem'. You can visit their
website at Sylvan.Salem@sylvanlearning.com
DROP N’ SHOP on DEC 5: Start
the holiday season with lots of fun for the young ones! Make a beautiful beaded
snowflake for your window or to hang on your tree. Play ‘Pass the Ornament’. Hear some wintry stories and play ‘Slide the
Ring’. There will also be a chance to decorate
cookies (to eat!). YUM! You know it's
always a good time at the Drop 'n Shop!
Registration is required and residents have priority if the event is
filled
.
**All 'Drop 'n Shop' participants must be at least 6
years of age to be left 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 a parent or adult. Children ages 10 and up are allowed to stay
without an adult or waiver according to library policy. Thank you for your
cooperation. We just want everyone to be
safe.
