Summer is hopping
at Kimball Library! Make your registration plans now!
ART OF PAPER FLOWERS: Join this ZOOM call with professional
artist Theresa Monteith while she walks us through the art of making paper
flowers. You will complete the meeting with your own paper bouquet. This event
is for ages 9-19 and take place on Tuesday, July 14th, at 5:00 PM.
Materials will be
available for pick-up from the Kimball Library for all registered participants.
Library staff will
call registered participants 24 hours before the event to arrange for material
pickup. There are a dozen craft packets and Atkinson library card holders have
priority. Please register ASAP to avoid
disappointment.
NETFLIX PARTY: It's time for a NETFLIX PARTY! If you have an existing Netflix account,
install the Netflix Party web extension into your browser.
The extension will
allow us to watch one show that will be automatically synced up between our
computers - complete with a chatroom to talk about the show in real time.
In the month of
July, we're watching Babysitter's Club! This new live action show is based on
the bestselling book series by Ann M Martin. Register online and a Netflix
Party link will be sent to you 1 hour before show time. This party is geared
for ages 8+.
If you have any
questions, please email Daniele at dguest@kimballlibrary.com.
NUMBER GNOMES: This ZOOM is for kids in Grade K-5 who
want to have fun and play games while practicing some math skills! We'll learn
mapping to find buried treasure, measure candy, and bounce some numbers around
(literally!). Register online or over the phone to receive a ZOOM link emailed
to you 1 hour before the event. This is
a 3-week series, being held on Tuesdays from 5-5:45 PM starting July 7th.
SUMMER VIRTUAL CONCERTS: Relax and sit back from the comfort of
your own home, deck, patio, etc. and enjoy the virtual concert in the series that
is taking place on July 23 at 6:00 PM. THE
LAST DUO! (Oddly, this is number 3 in our series and not last.)
Greg Descoteaux
and Dan Sirois are both accomplished singer-songwriters and their vocal and
instrumental talents complimented each other. With top-notch harmonies, this
diverse highly entertaining acoustic Duo performs songs from a wide range of
artists such as The Everly Brothers, America, Simon & Garfunkel, Johnny
Cash, Roy Orbison, and many more.
This concert will
be a Facebook Live Event. You do not need a Facebook Account to view. This
event is sponsored by the very generous Friends of the Kimball Library.
KIMBALL LIBRARY REOPENING PLAN: (In case you missed it!) 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.

account, YouTube or Instagram to learn about more program updates and resources.
