We have been
waiting to say this for so long… curbside is coming, curbside is coming,
curbside is coming! (Picture us riding
horses up and down the lane and shouting!)
With the
Governor’s recent easing of the stay at home order for certain businesses, we
are able to offer access to the library’s collections again as of May 18, 2020.
Welcome to ‘Take Out’ at Your Library!
If you are
interested in particular titles, call us with your library card in hand. If
they are available here at Kimball, we will retrieve them and check them out to
you. Tell us when you’re on your way between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM and we’ll
have the titles ready and waiting for you. Open the front door and you’ll find
a table immediately adjacent to it with your materials on it. You won’t enter
the building and there will be no physical contact with the staff.
You are also
welcome to place reserves yourself 24/7 through the catalog for Kimball items
only. We will pull them the next morning and every hour after that. All you
need to do is call us with your library card and let us know when you are on
your way.
It’s also
time to begin to return items you may have had out when the Library closed.
Please return Kimball materials via the book drops at the side of the building;
we cannot accept returns at the front door. After checking them in, they will
be quarantined for 4 days. Fines will not be charged during the month of May.
TOWN WIDE BEAUTIFICATION WEEK: The Town of Atkinson Departments of Recreation, Kimball Library and Highway Department are joining hands (virtually and washed!) for TOWN WIDE BEAUTIFICATION WEEK. Let’s clean up our streets! This good clean fun is happening from May 15 to May 23. Pick a convenient day and time your family can participate.
Pick up free
gloves and garbage bags from Kimball Library outside the library building
entrance between 9 to 5 on Friday, May 15 and Monday, May 18 through to Friday,
May 22. (Please note there is no pickup on Saturday or Sunday.)
Clean up
your neighborhood streets, parks, main roads (East Road, Maple Avenue, Sawyer
Avenue, etc).
Leave all
the garbage bags on the curbside then contact Recreation Department
commrec@atkinson-nh.gov or 603 362-5531 for the location where you worked on.
Our Highway Department will be picking up trash bags during the week. Thank you
for keeping our town beautiful!
THINKING OF YOU: Outside the library
building entrance please find a shelf of “Thinking of You Books”. We are sorry if it rains. Even if the books are in shelter, the pages
warp so we can’t leave them out.
These books
(Adults and Youth Services collections) are offered freely to you during the
time that we are closed. Please take and enjoy!
IN EXCHANGE,
WE ASK: Please do not return these
books. Do not place them in the book drop when you are finished reading. Do not
donate them back to the library. Do not donate them once we resume taking
future book donations. Currently, as a
reminder, we are not accepting donations of any kind.
STAY TUNED: Visit our website, FaceBook page, Twitter
account, Youtube or Instagram to learn about more updates and resources to
come. We miss all our face-to-face interactions
with our wonderful community, but safe practice says ‘see you online.’ We have upcoming events online as well that
you or your children will be able to participate in. See you there!
