Mah Jongg is a popular game and Kimball Library is quite a popular place to play it! We play from 1:00-4:30 on Fridays. Mah Jongg, a fun rummy-like game, is played with tiles rather than cards. There are many different versions of Mah Jongg all around the world. We play American Mah Jongg and follow the rules as defined by the National Mah Jongg league. One of the main differences is that American Mah Jongg uses an annual card of Official Standard Hands and Rules, against which all games are played. These cards are available from the National Mah Jongg League, and you will need to bring yours along to use while playing. Experienced players only, please!
Registration is required. Registrants will receive a response from Betty Jarzobski, the Mah Jongg organizer.
SATURDAY STEAM: Join us for an easy-going STEAM program for kids grades K-3.
We will 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. Register ASAP as the class tends to fill quickly.
In February we will meet on the 11th at 10:30 am to have Valentine STEAM themed fun!
BOBCATS: Have you ever seen a bobcat in Atkinson in real time or on local social media? Did you know there are bobcats in Atkinson? Do you want to know more about these remarkable animals?
If so, come join us as a New Hampshire Fish and Wildlife Steward shares information about bobcats in the state. Learn about the natural history of the elusive cat, its habitat needs and the status of the population. Also, hear about the amazing federal funding mechanism that supports long-term research and is largely responsible for our country’s abundant wildlife.
This event is free and open to the public. Please register to join us on Monday, February 13th at 6:00 PM.
NEEDLE CRAFTERS: Whether you enjoy knitting, crocheting, rug braiding, quilting or another form of needle work come join us for Needle Crafters. Each Wednesday, this informal gathering is a fun meet-up for those who are currently working on projects or who wish to start one. Are you stuck on a stitch or confused by a pattern? Most likely someone in the group can help. It is a great place to get some ideas for beginning new projects as well. This friendly bunch meets on Wednesdays between 10:30 and 12:30. Come when you can, and leave when you must.DOWNLOADABLE BOOKS UPDATE: In early 2023, the OverDrive app will be discontinued. We encourage you to make the switch to Libby, our newer reading app. Libby is made by the same people, with the same goal of connecting you to your library and to your favorite books, audiobooks, and magazines. Both apps offer identical titles. Libby has features the older app doesn’t.
If you’d like to try a different selection of ebooks and audiobooks and a different experience, you can download hoopla and receive 4 titles per month. The choice is yours and you can do it all!
Not sure how to use Libby or hoopla? Call or drop by. If your need is longer than a few minutes you can make an appointment with Kathy Watson who will schedule a time to work with you.
HOLIDAY HOURS: The Kimball Library will be closed on Monday, February 20th for Presidents Day. Please note that Libby, Kanopy and hoopla are available 24/7 with a Kimball Library card in good standing. World Access News/Newsbank and the Wall St Journal can be found under the Online Resources link on our website.
