Kimball Library News 12/14/2020

Due to the rise in Covid cases, in order to keep both the staff and our visitors safe, the Library will temporarily return to Take Out Service as of Monday, December 14, 2020.

The Library will be offering:

Borrowing via Take Out ~ Take Out is easy!  If you are interested in borrowing a title, place a hold in the catalog or give us a call (362-5234).  We’ll check the items out to you, wrap them and leave them on a table just inside the front door.

Streaming 24/7 ~ Check out the vast array of e-books, e-audio books and movies anytime through out website.

Online programming ~ Fun, creative, meaningful programming is available for all ages over ZOOM.

Technical help ~ Are you stuck trying to attend a Zoom meeting or download a title? Give us a call; we can help!

The building will not be open for in-person visits, but the staff will be here during our regular hours.  Call 362-5234 for assistance or for more information.  Thank you for your understanding during these challenging times.

NEW TEEN SERVICES: Teens can call ahead to pick up a grab bag made just for them.

Mystery Bags will contain two books handpicked by librarians, fuzzy socks, and hot cocoa mix. Thus far Mystery Bag themes include Hamilton, murder mysteries, twisted fairy tales, movie adaptations and action-packed adventure. (They’re all so good – you can’t go wrong.)

Craft Bags will hold everything you need to make this month’s craft: Transfer Art Candles! Print art off the web or create your own freehand design and follow the instructions included to transfer your art onto the candle. (Psst… makes a great gift!) If you need any extra help with your craft, our Youth Librarian will be available on Zoom on Dec 18th at 2:00pm to chat with anyone that wants to drop in, but it is absolutely not required.

MINDFULNESS FOR CHALLENGING TIMES: Finding that current times are challenging in your everyday life?  Join us for a 90-minute session.  Register and ZOOM with us. No experience is necessary.

Wednesday, January 6 at 1:00 ~ Kindness for Me, You and the Whole World – Learn how to use mindfulness to cultivate an inclusive skillful compassion that can help us to stay connected to our best selves, others and our common humanity.

Instructor, Liz Korabek-Emerson, is a certified mindfulness teacher, transformational workshop leader, creative coach and owner of Korabek Training which helps one become more resilient through the practice of mindfulness.

We will be open on New Year’s Eve (12/31/20) from 10-3 and will be closed until January 4, 2021. (By ‘open’ we mean available by phone, email, and take-out service.)
