It takes a village to raise a successful summer reading program! THANK YOU is not strong enough for our amazing sponsors listed below. Without them, we could not have had the programs and prizes that we did. We ended the summer with 222 registrations, hosted a multitude of exciting and engaging programs, and helped hundreds of kids and teens check out materials. We wouldn’t be able to do any of this without the support of our benefactors, patrons, and the Atkinson community.
Thank you to all of our amazing patrons who visited the Library to check out
items and attended our programs. Seeing your cheerful faces makes all of the
hard work we put into Summer Reading worth it! To all of the businesses and
individuals who donated this year, we would like to say a very special THANK
YOU! Your donations provided exciting incentives for our kids and teens to
visit us and check out items, often multiple times a week!
A huge thanks to Altitude Trampoline Park, Canobie Lake Park, Charmingfare
Park, the Chawla Family, Friends of Kimball Library, Hannaford’s, Launch
Trampoline Park, Market Basket, Moo’s Place, The Red Sox Organization, Shaw’s, The
Sivirasa Family, Water Country, and Xtreme Craze. You are all awesome! The
Friends of the Library are extra special and make our programming all year
round possible!

Sensory Story Time is just right for your little one who is almost ready for
full story time but may still be challenged by so much structure.
Join us for one story, followed by an opportunity to play with sensory and
art activities that reinforce what was heard in the story. Please register once
