Kimball Library News 2/12/23

 We have activities for the kids in your lives going on all of vacation week from February 27^th to March 3^rd. If you missed an article describing some of the events, please visit our website or blog listed at the end of this article.

CRAFTY KIDS: Make two crafts today, not just one!  Have you made a dancing princess before? Or a straw rocket that works? Kids love to craft, and we aim to please. Join us on Thursday, March 2^nd from 3:30-4:30 PM to get crafty with Mrs. Birr.

No registration required, so please just drop in.

READER’S THEATER: Do you like to read? Would you want your reticent reader to get a little practice reading a play? Have your kids take a part in the reading night at the Kimball Theater. Everything is ready for the theater magic, but we need eager readers in grades 1-5 to participate on March 2nd from 6:00-7:00 PM.

Please register so we have the right sized play for the number of readers and enough scripts for all.

POKEMON HUNT: Can you find ‘em all? Stop by the Children’s Room on Friday, March 3rd between 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM to pick up your Pokedex and see how many you can find hiding in the Library. When you've found them all, turn it in for a special little prize! Come when you can, leave when you must.

WINTER SLIME: Join us to make your very own winter slime here at the Library on Friday, March 3^rd at 1:00 PM. Add glitter, color, and other items to make it unique.

Please be advised that we will probably get messy, so dress accordingly! Youth in kindergarten to grade 5 are invited to register to participate.

BRING YOUR OWN CRAFT, PAINT & COLOR: Come unwind, de-stress and create every week on Mondays between 12:30 and 2:30 PM. Individuals come together to dabble in painting, coloring or creative crafts using oil, acrylic, watercolor, pen and pencil. Folks are required to bring their own supplies to work on their canvas, wood, sketchpads and coloring books. Bring whatever project you are working on. Group size will be limited, and registration is required.

Research shows that creative activities help you relax. This is an open time so feel free to stay the entire two hours, leave early or come late. Remember, this is a no stress event so if you only have half an hour to spare then spend it relaxing with fellow creative art enthusiasts.

AVAILABLE POSITION: As of April 12^th there will be an 11 month trustee position available. Please head to our website and peruse the ‘About Us’ section to view the detailed job description. Potential candidates may turn in paperwork starting February 20, 2023
