The Library staff has a special opportunity on Wednesday, November 30th, for some early morning staff development. On that day, we will open at 11:00 AM versus the typical 9:30 AM. Thank you for your understanding, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

THE KIMBALL LIBRARY SURVEY IS HERE! It’s our turn to listen! We would love to have input from all residents aged 13 and up as we envision the next few years at the Library. Please use the survey to let us know what you think of the Kimball Library today and what you would like it to become in the future.

The easiest way to take the survey is online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/kimballlibrary. Thank you for your time and feedback! As a token of our appreciation, the Friends of the Library are giving out library tote bags. Just let us know you’ve taken the survey the next time you visit.

CREATE HOLIDAY GREETING CARDS & GIFT CARD HOLDERS WORKSHOP:  Join us in creating some festive greeting and gift cards for the upcoming seasons.
