Kimball Library News 5/14/18

Starting on June 1^st, school aged youth can register to win prizes and start signing up for popular and awesome events before we are ‘SOLD OUT’. Our summer reading program is going to be fun filled this year. Sign up earlier for more time to enter our raffles!

Registration is rolling throughout June and July so anytime you stop in your child or teen can get started.  Registration is in person only and literally will take a few minutes or less.  

LIBRARIES ROCK SUMMER KICK-OFF: Save Wednesday, June 20^th, at 6:30 PM for an event that people of all ages will not want to miss in the Kimball Library Courtyard: a concert extravaganza with Keith Munslow.

In his highly interactive triple-whammy show, Keith delivers fun, funky music, lightning-fast cartooning, and hilarious stories that will have grown-ups laughing as much as the kids! Keith’s rhythmic piano playing, on-the-spot improvisations, and quick wit combine for an interactive, upbeat, positive experience. His work reflects real-life experiences of kids and families with honesty, humor, and a keen eye for detail. It’s a fast-paced ride, so hang on and don’t blink – you might miss something!

Please register all ages in the family and include your email and phone so we can contact you if our courtyard is being rained or snowed out (EEK).  If we need to use our back-up weather location, Atkinson Academy, you will receive email notification and we will post an announcement on the Kimball Library website.

SONG WRITING ROCKS: Keith will also be doing a songwriting workshop before the show specifically for children in grades 2-6 that will take place in the meeting room at the library starting promptly at 5:15 PM.  

Writing a song is simply a matter of picking something you know and talking about it honestly. In this workshop, students not only learn the basics of rhythm, rhyme, meter and melody – but also that tying your shoes, missing the bus, or eating a gross hot lunch can be the stuff of great music!

Please register youth entering grades 2-6 in the fall of 2018.  Space is limited to 25.  Kimball Library cardholders have priority, but this announcement should spur you to register ASAP.  

Do take note that both the show and the workshop must be registered for separately.  We are able to have this amazing musical kick-off opportunity thanks to The Elizabeth Smith Estate.  

SUMMER CONCERT SERIES KICK-OFF: Here is your reminder to join us in the 2018 Summer Concert in the Courtyard Kickoff with Don Campbell on Thursday, June 21^st at 6:00 PM.    The Don Campbell Trio includes a bassist and Durham, NH musician, Tom Yoder, on fiddle and mandolin.  This group has been here in the past and is a sell-out crowd!  Please take time to invite friends and neighbors for this wonderful opportunity.

In the event of inclement weather this concert will be held indoors. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Kimball Library.
