Kimball Library News 9/18/22

A public library meeting room is legally constituted as a designated public forum – open for expressive activity by part or all of the public. We’d like the community to understand that their library is content neutral and does not discriminate among groups or individuals – including political groups or candidates. The use of a public meeting room by any group does not imply library endorsement or support of the groups’ goals or views.

As an election draws near, the Library welcomes all local political parties and their candidates to take advantage of their public library as a venue where they can express themselves in order to best inform the public as they make their voting decisions.—Karen Brown, Director

RAFFLE BASKETS: It's that time of year again for the Friends of the Library Fall Raffle Baskets! The lovely array of baskets are on display near the main circulation desk and will be on sale at the Kimball Library until Friday, October 14th at noon. Winners will be notified by phone.

HISTORY AND MYSTERY: A GENEALOGY STARTER GUIDE: Are you interested in family history? Do you have a family mystery? Do you spend a lot of time in graveyards wondering about the names behind the stones? Then you just might be a genealogy enthusiast! Genealogy is the exploration of ancestral lines and can be done through countless records, resources and artifacts. Join us on Friday, October 7th with Erin Moulton as we discuss methods for research planning that will make you an active participant in your own ancestral journey.
