Kimball Library News 7/12/21

Here’s just a friendly reminder that the summer concert series is still going strong. Check our calendar on Thursdays to see when the next available one is coming up. The acoustics in our Library Courtyard are very sweet. Is it really summer if you don’t attend at least one?

ANIME MOVIE NIGHT: We’re hosting the best kind of t/ween movie night: ANIME MOVIE NIGHT! Come watch this classic anime movie about a girl who saves the life of a cat and faces unexpected consequences. (Can you guess the movie?)

We’ll have arts and craft supplies out so we can make cute cat-themed crafts and practice our manga artwork while we watch.  Register grades 5 and up for this exclusive t/ween event taking place on Wednesday, July 28^th, at 6:00 PM.

MAKE AN ANIMAL PUPPET: It’s time to make a one-of-a-kind puppet kids will love and with a cute little tail, too!  What could it be? Find out when you register your children for our craft night. They’ll love it when it’s done!

We are limited to the number of people in the room so please try and register early so your children will not be disappointed. This crafty event is on Thursday, July 29^th, at 6:00 PM.

3-D PRINTING WITH JOE: We’ve had a schedule change with Joe, so please take note. Class is for grades 3-8 on August 3^rd at 4:30 PM.

Learn how 3-D Printing works and then design your very own creation to bring to life on a 3-D printer. Atkinson's very own Joseph Quaratiello will teach a short introduction to Tinkercad, a 3-D sculpting software. Everyone will get the chance to test out the software as they add their own unique touch to a basic design. Each design will be printed so everyone can take home their own 3-D print.

3-D printed items require 48-72 hours to be ready for pickup. Please plan to stop by on Thursday to pick up your item.

MORNING BOOK GROUP: The morning book discussion group has been going strong for years. Try them out on July 28^th at 10:15 AM. This month’s selection is ‘The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan.

Bone china cup and saucer—Found, on a bench in Riveria Public Gardens, 31st October.

Anthony Peardew is the keeper of lost things. Forty years ago, he carelessly lost a keepsake from his beloved fiancée, Therese. That very same day, she died unexpectedly. Brokenhearted, Anthony sought consolation in rescuing lost objects—the things others have dropped, misplaced, or accidently left behind—and writing stories about them. Now, in the twilight of his life, Anthony worries that he has not fully discharged his duty to reconcile all the lost things with their owners.

Please register to let us know your intent. Books are available at the main circulation desk. Lifelong friends and interesting conversations may be found with this lively group.
