Kimball Library Library News 7/24/17



Visit our meeting room and see the latest photography exhibit from local artist, Chris Fazzio.
Chris Fazzio has been a resident of southern New Hampshire for over ten years, living in Hampstead and now in Atkinson.  He spent his childhood living in Haverhill, MA and spent summers at his family's lake house in Barnstead, NH.  He is an outdoor enthusiast who loves to hike, kayak, mountain bike, rock climb, and bird watch.  Through his photography, he is able to share his vision of the simplicity of nature and his appreciation for rustic and classical New England scenes.

Chris is a graduate of Merrimack College.  He has been studying Chinese martial arts for almost 30 years and has been teaching Kung Fu and self-defense to children and adults for over 25 years. When he is not teaching or taking photos, he enjoys his twin boys, cooking, a good book, and exploring nature with his family.

Chris has 25 pieces of photography on display and for sale through the end of August.  A portion of the proceeds from any sale will be donated to the library.  Don’t miss it!

A CHILD’S COLONIAL EVENING: Children entering kindergarten through grade 5 in the fall of 2017 are invited to have a fun and 'proper' evening with Goodwife 'Goody” Mary Hale on Tuesday, August 8th at 6:30 PM. She will instruct the children at her Dame School on how to write with a quill pen. You'll make a bit of butter to have with our complete tea. The evening will end outside with the playing of colonial games: hoop rolling, balls and cups, whirly gigs, Graces, and maybe even marbles!
Costumes will be provided or go all out and wear your own.

Registration is required through the Kimball Library event calendar or call 603.365.5234 and ask us to do it for you.

This proper evening event is sponsored by the Atkinson Historical Society & Kimball Library.

AUGUST TUESDAY AFTERNOON FILMS: Join us on August 8th for ‘Norman’ and on August 15th for ‘The Eagle Huntress’.  Movies start promptly at 1pm and popcorn will be served.

THE HISTORY OF ATKINSON: Plan to attend the Steven Lewis presentation 'Atkinson - Then and Now' at 6:30pm on Thursday, August 3rd at the Kimball Library.  Stories concerning Atkinson will delight listeners who attend the event.  And who knows, your house, land or ancestors may be involved! Come learn, discover, and be educated as to the history of our gem of a town.

This event is sponsored by the Atkinson Historical Society in support of Atkinson's 250th Anniversary! Refreshments will be served. Please spread the word.
