T/WEEN BOOK DISCUSSION: Join the most chill t/weens and chat with us about Bruiser by Neal Shusterman on March 1st at 7:00 PM! We serve candy and the coolest conversation. Register yourself and your bestie.
When Brontë starts dating Brewster “Bruiser” Rawlins – the guy voted “Most Likely to Get the Death Penalty” her twin brother, Tennyson, isn’t surprised. But then strange things begin to occur. Tennyson and Brontë’s scrapes heal unnaturally fast, and cuts disappear before their eyes. What at first seems like their good fortune turns out to be more than they bargained for…much more.
EVENING BOOK GROUP: February 21st
at 6:00 PM we will discuss The Many Daughters
of Afong Moy by Jamie Ford.
As painful recollections affect her present life, Dorothy discovers that trauma isn’t the only thing she’s inherited. A stranger is searching for her in each time period. A stranger who’s loved her through all of her genetic memories. Dorothy endeavors to break the cycle of pain and abandonment, to finally find peace for her daughter, and gain the love that has long been waiting, knowing she may pay the ultimate price.
MORNING BOOK GROUP: February’s choice pick is Snow by John Banville. We will meet on February 22nd at 10:15 AM.
Following the discovery of the corpse of a highly respected parish priest at Ballyglass House, the County Wexford family seat of the aristocratic, secretive Osborne family, Detective Inspector St John Strafford is called in from Dublin to investigate. Strafford faces obstruction from all angles, but carries on determinedly in his pursuit of the murderer. However, as the snow continues to fall over this ever-expanding mystery, the people of Ballyglass are equally determined to keep their secrets.
STORIES & CRAFT: Preschool age children can start their day right by making something special! They can get their little hands ready to work and have fun, too. No registration required for this special class on Tuesday, February 28th, at 10:15 AM during our week of Staycation activities.
BE ZEN: Stay-cations are for relaxing, and we have that in mind and have blocked off Tuesday, February 28th from 3-5:00 PM for your kids and teens to drop by. Ages 10+ will gather to relax with adult coloring, try Zentangle, or use some of our self-soothing items in the Atkinson Room. Preschool to age 10 will gather in the Children’s Craft Barn where we will have some select soothing activities out such as coloring and sensory play. Come when you can and leave when you must. As always, bring a friend because the more, the merrier!
Registration is not required. Children under 10 may not be left unattended.
YOU SCREAM, WE SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM: Subzero Nitrogen Ice Cream is coming back to the Kimball Library on Wednesday, March 1st, at 6:00 PM for a tasty STEM event!
By demonstrating how liquid nitrogen can be used to freeze fresh ingredients into fresh ice cream, we keep the children amused, and give them a lesson on the properties of liquid nitrogen, gas laws, and the application of science to food. SubZero Nitrogen staff from Nashua, NH will be our teachers. Each registrant will receive ice cream at the end of the program. They bring a non-dairy option for those who may need it. Everything they bring is nut, gluten and egg free. There will be chocolate, vanilla, and bubble gum options. People get to choose which flavor they want.
The science behind this event is developmentally geared for youth in kindergarten and up and their parents or grandparents. Because this is a 'family' event, we ask that adults come accompanied by a child in kindergarten through high school.
This is paid for by the Library by the serving, so please only register if you can commit to coming. Registration is limited. Kimball card holders will have priority.
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.
