Kimball Library News 6/24/19


We’ve got some ‘OUTTA THIS WORLD’ FORENSICS going on at the Kimball Library for t/weens ages 10-17.  

‘WHO STOLE THE MOON ROCK?’ is developmentally geared for ages 10-12, and ‘FORENSICS CRIME LAB’ is slated for ages 13-17.  Both these events are taking place on Tuesday, July 16th.

From 6:00 -7:00 PM (ages 10-12) there will be an interactive story where tweens will learn about astronauts and life in space. They will explore different patterns of their own fingerprints using magnifying glasses, magnetic dusting powder and brushes. They will learn the different types of DNA, where to find DNA on evidence and how to collect a sample.  The kids will take home an identification card with their own fingerprint, DNA sample and hand print.  Once the mystery is solved everyone will sample a delicious astronaut treat. Register ages 10-12 or at a minimum entering grade 5 in the fall.

From 7:30- 9:00 PM, ages 13-17 will be at the library after hours. Register teenagers!  This program will accommodate ONLY 10 Kimball Library teens. Residents have preference for registration until 3 days before the program launches. See event details below.

On September 13, 2018 Russian cosmonauts discovered a hole in the Soyuz spacecraft attached to the International Space Station.  Further investigation led to speculation of sabotage.  Evidence collected during this spacewalk was brought back to earth to solve the mystery of which NASA astronaut is the culprit. This powerpoint presentation will be an introduction to all disciplines of the forensic laboratory. Hands-on exploration with Mary Dawson will have the teens examining different patterns of their own fingerprints using magnifying glasses, magnetic dusting powder and brushes, as well as the different types of DNA, where to find DNA on evidence and how to collect a sample.  They will take home an identification card with their own fingerprint, handprint and DNA sample. 

These are ‘UNIVERSE OF STORIES’ summer reading events sponsored by THE FRIENDS OF KIMBALL LIBRARY.
