Kimball Library News 11/13/22

It’s the season to start thinking ‘festive’! We have some events for adults, teens, and children coming up that you won’t want to miss. Register early before the sessions and your season gets overbooked.

TORTELLINI TOTEM POLES & COOKIES: Calling all foodies specifically in grades 3-5! Come on down to the library and make a tortellini totem pole with Chef Birr. It's great to nibble on and even better with a holiday punch and chocolate treats! You will be making this yourself with only a little guidance and it's sure to be a good time. Register now to make it all happen as class size is limited. This program is being held on Thursday, December 1st, from 6-7 PM. Mark your calendar, now!

COOKIES & CRAFT: Children in grades K-5 are invited to get in the festive spirit by decorating cookies and making a craft. Everyone loves a good cookie and a good craft, and this is a two-for-one! Register in advance to be part of the festivities on Saturday, December 3rd, from 11-12.

FELTED ORNAMENT MAKING FOR ADULTS, TEENS, & TWEENS: Who says you need a paintbrush to paint? In this workshop, students will learn how to “paint” with wool using various textured fibers (wool roving) and sharp barbed needles to create a delightful Holiday ornament. Open to all skill levels, students will be introduced to the art of sculpting in wool, including shaping, blending colors and surface felting. No drawing experience is required, students have the option to work from templates to create their designs. There are endless possibilities once you have learned this technique!

There are two separate offerings for this workshop on Thursday, December 15th. Adults will have a class at 1:00 PM, and t/weens (ages 10+) will have a similar workshop at 6:00 PM with more ‘whimsical’ choices. Because the participants are using needles we are following the recommendation that tweens must be at least 10 years of age.

Please stop by the front circulation desk to register today.  A $10.00 non-refundable materials fee is due at time of registration.  Registration will not be confirmed until payment is made.

Artist, Tiffany T. Farmakis-Day enjoys exploring a variety of mediums, both traditional and experimental. She does it all including drawing, painting, Zentangle, needle felting, coding a website and more! You may find her teaching workshops at fine crafts studios, galleries, art institutes, schools, libraries and many other places throughout New Hampshire.

This very unique workshop is sponsored by our wonderful Friends of the Kimball Library.

HOLIDAY HOURS: The Library will close at 3 PM on Wednesday, November 23rd and will re-open on Monday, November 28th at 9:30 AM. The Library staff wishes you all a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are certainly grateful for all of you.

As a reminder, Libby, Hoopla, & Kanopy are open 24/7. Happy streaming!
