Kimball Library News 6/22/2020


The announcement that we have all been waiting for…

KIMBALL LIBRARY REOPENING PLAN: We are happy to announce that the Kimball Library will reopen to the public on Monday, July 6th!

Our first priority is your safety and that of the staff. Therefore, strict social distancing and masks will be required of the 20 adults who can visit the Library at one time. Admittance will be based on a token system. A visiting adult will take 1 of 20 tokens on their way inside the building and return it when leaving; if all the tokens are taken, the 21st visitor is welcome to wait on a bench inside the lobby until someone leaves. For now, Take Out service will continue.

The Library will return to its original schedule: Monday through Friday from 10 AM to 8 PM and Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM. The Children’s Room will be open for browsing; all borrowing will take place at the Main Desk. Returns must be placed in the drops so that they can be quarantined.
The large Meeting Room will not be available at this time. However, the Conference and Study Room will be open for groups of 4 and 2 respectively. In order to preserve social distancing, programs will continue to be virtual and staff will be positioned 6 feet away from visitors.

We have missed you! We are stocked with many new and exciting materials and are looking forward to opening our doors again.

SUMMER VIRTUAL CONCERTS: Relax and sit back from the comfort of your own home, deck, patio, etc. and enjoy the 2020 Virtual Summer Concert Series. The next concert in the series is taking place on July 9 at 6:00 PM.  It is a Country Music Duo - Martin and Kelly.
The incredibly talented duo of Jilly Martin and Ryan Brooks Kelly have become the next must-see act from New England to Nashville. Over the years, they’ve been featured as support acts for many traditional, and mainstream country artists.

Standouts in today’s crossover country music scene, Martin and Kelly’s songs bridge the boundary between traditional and new country. They’ve made their mark with highly-acclaimed original music and are winning over audiences each time they perform. With compelling song-writing, dynamic vocal harmonies and stunning musicianship Martin and Kelly are poised for a breakthrough in the music industry. We encourage you to register to attend this Facebook Live event.

TWEENIES TEENIES & GENIES: Tweenies, Teenies and Genies (*Middle School & High School): Let's meet up once a week to talk, vent, kick back, and play games through Zoom. Most of our games will be board games adapted for the web, so stay tuned to find out what we're playing each week!

Since this group is an adapted version of our teen book group, we will continue to have book discussions once a month. Our July book is To Be Determined as we have not voted yet. Check back soon!

*In keeping with this group as a 'Teen Book Group' this program is open to teens and tweens entering middle school or high school only.

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!
