Kimball Library News 3/26/23

Kids, parents, and kids at heart, join us for a fun family film on Tuesday, April 25th at 1 PM during spring staycation week! No registration necessary.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish – Puss is so busy being a fearless hero and building his legend, he didn’t realize he’d run through eight of his nine lives, and for the first time finds himself fearing death and considering retirement. It’s not so easy to shed those past lives, however, and when a notorious crime family hires him for one last job by destroying his placid life, he finds himself in possession of a map to one last wish.

Rated:  PG Runtime: 103 minutes

Adults who normally attend Film Club are encouraged to attend as usual.

BUILDWAVE: Want to foster your child’s interest in STEM, while igniting their creative spark at the same time? Buildwave is a creative building program that feels like a video game! Over the course of the workshop students create with over a dozen different building materials, including Lego®, PlusPlus®, and custom-made Buildwave materials. The workshop is structured like a videogame, with an audiovisual setup featuring animations and music that guide students through the different building waves. As your child creates with wave after wave of new objects, they build creative confidence, become better collaborators, and encounter design and engineering fundamentals in a unique and memorable context.

Kimball Library families will be given priority for this unique event happening on Wednesday, April 26th, at 6:00 PM. Registration is required.

FRIDAY IS FOR THE BIRDS: Friday is for the birds! Check out these fun events happening at the Library on April 28th of spring staycation week.

ANGRY BIRDS (Ages 3+) @ 10:00 AM-12:00 PM: Stop in anytime between 10:00 AM-12:00 PM to test your building and flinging skills. Can you make a tower strong enough to resist your birds? Can you fling your birds hard enough to take down a tower? Bring your friends and family and challenge each other while you're at it. No registration required!

BIRD FEEDER STEM (Ages 8+) @ 2:00 PM: Kids ages 8 + are invited to make bird feeders! Find out how to turn your recyclables into a backyard restaurant for your feathered friends. Bring your own materials or use ours. Registration is required.

BRING YOUR OWN CRAFT, PAINT & COLOR: Come unwind, de-stress and create every week on Mondays between 12:30 and 2:30 PM. Adults 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.
