Kimball Library News 9/11/22

Fall programs are underway and you won’t want to miss out!

WRITE IT OUT: Interested youth in grades 3-6 are invited to join us for ‘Write It Out!’ We are hosting this monthly, and the first session is starting on Wednesday, September 28th, at 6:00 PM. We’ll start off with a writing prompt or two and then there will be opportunities to free write. There will be chances to share and discuss, but you are not required to do so. Register, invite a friend, and join the creative crew.

FALL WREATH CRAFT: Join Cathie & Lois for their next ‘Bibliocraft” class on Monday, October 3rd, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM where they will show you the ins and outs of creating a fall wreath.

You will be using a "bicycle wheel wreath" and you’ll be decorating it with leaves, berries, burlap and other adornments in designing a festive fall wreath.

Gather up your friends and family.  Registration is required and seating is limited. A non-refundable materials fee of $15.00 must be paid at time of registration. Please visit the circulation desk to register today.

(This craft involves using a hot glue gun.  We have several to share, but to save time feel free to bring your own hot glue gun and glue.)

T/WEEN BOOK CLUB: Join the most chill t/weens and chat with us about this book! Copies are available for the asking. We serve candy and the coolest conversation. Register yourself and your bestie for October 5th at 6:00 PM.

The book of the month is ‘Words on Fire” by Jennifer Nielsen. This book was chosen by one of our very own tweens whose favorite genre is historical fiction.

Danger is never far from Audra's family farm in Lithuania. She always avoids the occupying Russian Cossack soldiers, who insist that everyone must become Russian -- they have banned Lithuanian books, religion, culture, and even the language. But Audra knows her parents are involved in something secret and perilous.

When Cossacks arrive abruptly at their door, Audra's parents insist that she flee, taking with her an important package and instructions for where to deliver it. But escape means abandoning her parents to a terrible fate.

As Audra embarks on a journey to deliver the mysterious package, she faces unimaginable risks, and soon she becomes caught up in a growing resistance movement. Can joining the underground network of book smugglers give Audra a chance to rescue her parents?

REMEMBERING THE LEGENDARY BOSTON MUSIC SCENE: Join us on Thursday, October 6th at 6:00 PM for a photographic reminiscence of the Boston music scene of the late 1960 and early 1970s. This was a time when you could see The Who, Led Zeppelin and others at the Boston Tea Party for under $5 dollars. The owners of the Boston Tea Party venue also owned WBCN FM, Boston’s first radio station featuring album rock. The Tea Party operated for three years and attracted such acts as: The Grateful Dead, Chicago, Neil Young, the J. Geils band, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Cream, Fleetwood Mac, the Allman Brothers band, Joe Cocker & the Grease Band, Led Zeppelin and the Who. 

Dr. Carl Manikian was there with his camera and will share some stories of the influence WBCN and the Boston Tea Party had at the time.  Enjoy a look at the Boston Music scene from 1966-1972 as captured through his camera lens.

Please register online, stop by, or give us a call to reserve your seat.
