Kimball Library News 5/7/18

Preschool story times such as Mother Goose on the Loose, Bitty Books, and Kiddie Lit are continuing to meet until June 15^th.  We will have two weeks off during the final two weeks in June, and then the ‘summer camps’ will begin for those same age groupings the week of July 1^st and will run until August 10^th.  Summer camps have their own registration and you may jump on the website even now or call the library to get your children on the list.  Happy summer scheduling!

Stay tuned in the next article regarding a super summer kickoff event on June 20^th!  Save the date!

STAND OUT IN THE COLLEGE ADMISSIONS PROCESS: Geared to high school students and parents, join us as College Admissions Coach, Nancy Steenson discusses the following topics: merit scholarships vs. financial aid, extracurricular activities, the benefit of being well-rounded, writing powerful college essays that get noticed, strategies to increase chance of admission at selective schools, and what you need to know about standardized tests. Also up for discussion are recommendations – who to ask, when to ask, what to ask. 

It's never too early to start planning.  Registration is required for this timely event on Monday, June 11^th at 6:30pm. High school juniors should especially take heed.  Tick tock!

About the presenter: Nancy Steenson, a graduate of Tufts University, served on the Timberlane Regional School Board for six years, and was chairman for two. During that time, she served on a number of committees, including the Curriculum Committee, which she co-chaired for four years.

Nancy is passionate about education, and has always advocated for strong academics in the public school system in order to prepare students for college. She believes that many students can underestimate the college admissions process. With her guidance, students have been accepted into very selective colleges and top programs in their field.
