Kimball Library News 8/24/2020

 We are so happy to see many of you coming back ‘home’ to Kimball Library. We appreciate all the cooperation with wearing masks covering your noses, maintaining social distance, and having brief purposeful visits. Hats off to the most wonderful community of patrons!

As a reminder, for those of you who are not ready to step inside we continue to have ‘take out’ service available. Just give a call when you are on your way and we will leave your items on a table between the two front doors.

BEDROCK GARDENS: We are excited to add Bedrock Gardens to our Library Museum Pass Program. This 37-acre property was once a dairy farm, which the founders of Bedrock Gardens repurposed into a garden. The garden includes many structural elements such as paths, an espaliered fence, architecturally interesting rocks, pergolas, fountains, water features, a Japanese teahouse, whimsical garden art and two miles of woodland trails. The beds also have a range of plant varieties and unusual specimens of perennials, trees and shrubs designed to immerse you into the relaxation benefits of being in nature. A three-quarter-mile circulation path connects each garden "room” with vistas along the way. Garden rooms are connected with broad paths, and are filled with interesting structures, unusual plants and captivating landscape design elements.

Open 10:00 - 4:00 Tuesday - Friday and the 1st and 3rd full weekends of the months June through October. Reserve your pass today!

DATABASE DETECTIVES (GRADES 2-6): Join us on Mondays at 5:00 PM starting September 14th! Are you ready to solve the greatest unsolved mysteries ever known?

To crack the case, we'll need facts. To get facts we go... TO THE LIBRARY DATABASE!

Join us on Zoom to take on different mysteries like: Does the Loch Ness Monster Exist? What Happened to Amelia Earhart? What Is the Bermuda Triangle?

We'll team up, log into our own Ebsco database, and see what evidence we can dig up. Anyone in Grades 2 or older is welcome to drop in to be a detective. Please register in advance to receive the Zoom link as confirmation that you are ready to solve the case!

MAXIMIZING SOCIAL SECURITY: Get savvy on September 10th about retirement via Zoom with Andrew Githmark!

Are you one of the many Americans who do not fully maximize their Social Security benefits? Knowing how and when you choose to collect Social Security benefits can be complex because it ultimately depends on your unique circumstances. With retirees living longer today than previous generations, your choice of when to retire and collect Social Security benefits can make a significant difference in the income you collect in retirement.

Please join us for an interactive seminar over ZOOM entitled Maximizing Social Security and Investing for Retirement. Presenter, Andrew Githmark will address what spousal benefits are available if you are married, widowed or divorced. He will review the potential effects that working in retirement and having a public employee or government pension can have on your benefits. With his National Social Security Advisor certification, his goal is to provide you with the understanding of all the various claiming strategies to help you maximize your benefits and bring you financial clarity.

Andy Githmark is a Founding Partner and Wealth Manager at Steward Partners Global Advisory in Manchester. He has been in the financial services industry since 1997.

This program will be offered at twice.  Register for either the 1:00 or the 6:30 session and a Zoom link will be emailed to you.

HOLIDAY CLOSING: Please note that we are closed September 5-7 observing Labor Day Weekend.  Stock up on all those physical books, movies, and music CDs before the long weekend.

Have a safe and pleasant holiday.
