STAR WARS: Calling
all Star Wars fans, junkies, and cult members!
On Tuesday, April 5th, we are showing Star Wars Episode VII
“The Force Awakens” at 1pm (no registration necessary) and again at 6pm
(register PLEASE). Popcorn will be made
in advance and the popper shut down so we need a head count for the 2nd
show to be prepared for our guests. Please
note this film is rated PG 13 and we do not restrict ages. Children under
the age of 10 may not be left unattended.
It’s hard to
believe, but spring vacation break is right around the corner for the Timberlane
District, and we have plenty of events planned for the youth in your life. If your idea of vacation is staycation, then
the Kimball Library has plans for your children and teens. See below and stay
tuned for the rest of the week next week!
FOAM FUN FOR EVERYONE: Register children in
grades K-5 for foam and paper crafting. We have some foam and paper kits that
can be put together easily and some foam you must design yourself. We don't
expect to supervise your child for the full time but they are welcome to stay
in the children's room on Monday, April 25th, between 4-5:30pm as
long as they can focus on the activity and have a good time. Younger children
may need help.
CRAFTING A TREASURE CHEST: We have darling
unfinished treasure chests for your little ones ages 2-6. Decorate your treasure chest on Tuesday,
April 26th at 10:30am and take it home. Hide your goodies inside! Registration is required as we have a
specific amount of chests.
GET IN THE GAME CUPCAKE WARS: Register Grades 4-12 for
Tuesday, April 26th, 6:30-7:45pm!
Each participant must prepare 6 un-decorated cupcakes prior to the
event. You must bring all your
decorating tools and supplies that you will need. AT the event, you’ll have 30 minutes to
decorate them all. Two of the cupcakes will be used for judging—the other
portion will be shared with other contestants and judges. Cupcakes will be judged on the following
criteria: Appearance, taste, creativity, clean station, and presentation to
judges. Participant may make any flavor of cupcake desired but, please stay
within the theme of the event ‘GET IN THE GAME” in anticipation of summer
reading events!
The winner
will get a ‘sweet’ prize. Parents, this
is for kids and supposed to be fun and not highly competitive. The t/weens are expected to do their own
baking and decorating.
QUESTIONS? ASK Kathy Watson. This event is in partnership with Bre’s Ice
Creamery! Sweet!
T/WEEN T-SHIRT BOOK BAGS: Get the key to cool with
an awesome DIY t-shirt book bag. We'll
be making t-shirt totes on Wednesday, April 27th, at 6:30pm that
will have you styling and the envy of all your friends.
You MUST
bring--at least ONE t-shirt that would be large enough for books. (I'm sure you'll have time to make more than
one, so the more you bring the better!) AND a positive I CAN DO IT attitude.
You CAN bring--fabric scissors, (the more
sharp fabric scissors everyone brings the less waiting around time for
everyone), embellishments (safety pins, pony beads, ribbon--anything you can
attach to your bag) AND friends. Please
ALL register participants so I know how many peeps to plan for. This is for grades 4-12, only.
