Kimball Library News 3/27/22

Timberlane Regional School District vacation week is right around the corner, and that means Kimball Library is cooking up some programs for fellow ‘stay-cationers’! Don’t forget to register the kids and teens before it’s too late.

PLANTING THE RAINBOW & FROSTING COOKIES: It’s vacation week and it’s time to plant the rainbow and frost the cookies. Have fun making a rainbow of flowers with bright colors and paste. Just wait until you see how pretty they are! The cookies are extra fun too, and frosting your own cookies is even better! Who doesn’t like that form of gardening?

This is a spring STAY-CATION 2022 event for youth ages Pre-K to Grade 1 on Tuesday, April 26, at 10:30 AM. Registration is required. See a few more STAY-CATION events below.

GREASE INTERACTIVE MOVIE NIGHT: Join us for this fun-filled interactive movie night! You’ll be given props and a script so you can interact at the appropriate times during the film. Dress up in character or to the theme of the movie and potentially win a prize! Sign up ALL your t/ween friends–interactive movie nights are best with lots of people.

Register ages 10+ only, please. Movie start time is 6 PM PROMPT on Wednesday, April 27, so please arrive at 5:45 PM so you can make slime for one of the props!

TECH TOY TIME: The STEM toys are back ON Thursday, April 28, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. We'll have Keva planks, Brain Flakes, and Magformers available. Try out the challenges or come up with your own. Come when you can, leave when you must! Ages 3 and up are welcome to try out their engineering minds.

 SOCIAL INJUSTICE FOR KIDS: Join us as we explore the important topic of social justice geared to youth in grades 1-5. Books, role playing, games, and crafts are on the agenda. Serious themes can be incorporated into an event that can be fun and educational for kids. We will be sharing the book ‘So Far from the Sea’ by Eve Bunting so children can learn important history and be part of the community read.

This children’s event is part of the Bitter Injustice community read which is a multi-community reading initiative marking the 80th anniversary of Executive Order 9066, which forced 120,000 people of Japanese descent out of their homes and into detention camps. To learn more about the community read, visit https://bitterinjustice.wordpress.com.

Register youth in grades 1-5 on our event calendar, over the phone, or in person to join and learn with us on Thursday, April 28, at 4 PM.

RECYCLED CITIES: If you could create your own city, what would it look like? Would you add taller buildings? Jungle gyms? Zoos? Let your imagination run wild! Design and build your very own city out of cereal boxes and other light cardboard. 

Register and meet up with other kids in grades 3-6 on Friday, April 29, at 1:30 PM. Future engineers, unite!
