Be part of a wellness plan to make time for yourself and your children by utilizing our collections, programs, and services as part of your 2023 goals. Browse our website for details.
SATURDAY STEAM: Join us for an easy-going STEAM program for kids grades K-3.
We meet on the second Saturday of each month and work on a project using common items and have some fun challenges using whatever we have created for the day.
This month on January 14th at 10:30 AM, we will be making structures out of sugar cubes. Register soon! STEAM can fill up quickly, so take a peek ahead for February and get on the STEAM bandwagon!
MUSIC COLLECTION: Music streaming is now the dominant way people enjoy music in the United States. Use of the library’s physical CD collection became so low, we decided to rearrange that area to improve browsing and enlarge our popular large print collection. You can find the music CDs for sale on the Friends of the Library Book Sale Shelves.
The Library offers a free music streaming service with the Hoopla App via your Kimball Library card. With thousands of titles available for streaming, hoopla has something for everyone. Lullabies and sing-a-longs for little listeners, trending tunes for teens, and hit music adults love – all available 24/7 without fees, commercials or wait lists. The hoopla app also allows you to shuffle or repeat songs to create a more personalized listening experience.
If you would like a personal lesson in how to stream music, please call and we will be happy to arrange a brief, tech appointment with library staff.
KINDERGARTEN CLUB: Join us on Mondays at 3:30 PM for Kindergarten Club! Just like a typical storytime, we will read a couple of books, but we will also play games that will build on important skills such as listening and vocabulary and even have an experiment or two. Register to be a part of our new winter session.
Children may take the bus from Atkinson Academy to the Library if parents make arrangements with pick-up patrol. (The Library is not taking responsibility for the transportation; we are simply letting you know that there is a bus that stops here.) Please pack a snack for your child to have before 3:30.
Parents MUST let the Library know of any changes to the drop off/pick up routine OR if their child is not able to attend on a particular day.
WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE: Log into our catalog with your patron barcode ID and password to access the link. Log into your existing WSJ account or create a new one if you don’t already have one.
You’ll have access for 3 days, at the end of which simply repeat step one.
Please note: The Wall Street Journal apps do not work for library users, but the web version works very well with small screen devices.
HOLIDAY HOURS: The Kimball Library will be closed on Monday, January 16th for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Please note that Libby, Kanopy and hoopla are available 24/7 with a Kimball Library card in good standing. World Access News and the WSJ can be found under the Online Resources link on our website.
