Kimball Library News 10/24/21

Learn how to make a beautiful fresh boxwood tree to enjoy for the holidays. The boxwood tree is an elegant design made out of boxwood and decorated with velvet ribbon, gold glass balls, berries and natural gypsophila. This popular centerpiece will last for months and is perfect for your home or for those who want a small holiday tree to enjoy. Felicia does not let anyone leave with a Charlie Brown tree—even those 'less crafty' will have a beautiful creation.

Reservations are required and must be done in person at the library with a materials fee of $40.00 paid in advance. Payment in cash or checks only.  Please make checks payable to Felicia Motherway.

Seating is limited so stop by and reserve your seat today. This always popular class is on Monday, December 6, from 6:00-8:00 PM.

MORNING BOOK CLUB: Join us for each month to discuss a book we've chosen. Tell us what your thoughts are on the book and hear what others have to say.  It’s always a fun time with lively conversation with old and new friends.

Please register if you would like to be part of our reading group. Typically, we meet on Wednesdays at 10:15, but in November we are going off script and meeting on Friday, November 19th, to avoid the Thanksgiving commitments.

November's Book: The Paris Architect by Charles Belfoure.

In 1942 Paris, architect Lucien Bernard accepts a commission that will bring him a great deal of money—and maybe get him killed. All he has to do is design a secret hiding place for a Jewish man, a space so invisible that even the most determined German officer won't find it while World War II rages on. He sorely needs the money, and outwitting the Nazis who have occupied his beloved city is a challenge he can't resist.

Soon Lucien is hiding more souls and saving lives. But when one of his hideouts fails horribly, and the problem of where to conceal a Jew becomes much more personal, and he can no longer ignore what's at stake.

WALL STREET JOURNAL ACCESS: We still have access to WSJ in case you’ve tried logging in recently and have been perplexed as to why it seems like you’ve been denied.

Log into our new Aspen catalog (Kimball.aspendiscovery.org) with your patron barcode ID and password to access the link. Log into your existing WSJ account, or create a new one if you don't already have one.

You'll have access for 3 days, at the end of which you have to go back to step one. (I know, but I can’t change that part for you!)

Please note: The Wall Street Journal apps do not work for library users, but the web version works very well with small screen devices.

HOLIDAY CLOSINGS: Please note that we will be closed on Thursday, November 11th, in honor of Veterans’ Day. Also, on the horizon is Thanksgiving, and that is a multiple day closure. We are open on Thanksgiving Eve (November 24) from 10-3. We are closed Thanksgiving Day and the day after (November 25 & 26). We are open normal Saturday hours on November 27. Stock up in advance, or as always, Hoopla, Libby, Kanopy and other online services are open 24/7.

STAY TUNED: Visit our website, Facebook page, Twitter account, YouTube or Instagram to learn about more program updates and more resources.
