ROCKIN’ ROCKS AND MINERALS: Have you ever started a rock collection? Do you like to learn about the rocks and minerals that make up our earth? Do you know why New Hampshire is called the Granite State?

Join us for a rockin' adventure of learning, viewing and identifying different rocks and minerals on Thursday, July 12^th, at 6:30 PM. End with a rock painting you can take home.

Please register kids entering kindergarten through fifth grade in the fall of 2018.

UKULELES for LOAN: That’s right, you may borrow a genuine Mahalo ukulele to practice what you may have learned at our recent workshop, or you can go on youtube or an app and teach yourself.  We have four ukuleles to loan (Kimball Library card holders only, please) that each come in a nifty case.  You can easily tune it from a free app!  This is a terrific time to try something new. Strum up some beautiful music this summer. Ukuleles rock!

HEALTHY COOKBOOK CLUB: Do you enjoy cooking and trying new recipes? If so, why not join our Healthy Cookbook Club that meets the 3rd Monday of each month. The club chooses a different healthy cookbook to dive into each month. Members check out a copy of the cookbook and spend time trying out the various recipes at home. When the group gathers the next month, we discuss the health benefits of the various recipes and share opinions of the meals tried. In addition, participants prepare and bring a sample of a recipe from the cookbook to share with the group.

Register so we know how many cookbooks to have on hand for the next meeting of this healthy and scrumptious event.

PRESCHOOL CAMPS REMINDER: It’s not only about the school aged youth here at Kimball during the summer! We have 6 weeks of camps for the littles.  It’s not too late to register for the following classes:  Mother Goose on the Loose on Mondays for babies & toddlers, Bitty Books Camp on Tuesdays for two and three year-olds, and Kiddie Lit Adventure Camp for ages three to six on Fridays.  All camps start at 10:30 AM and run for six consecutive weeks starting July 2^nd.
