 New Hampshire is home to seven native turtle species, four of which are listed by the State as threatened or endangered. Join the Kimball Library and the Atkinson Conservation Commission as we host both a NH Fish & Game wildlife biologist and a turtle rehabilitator from NH Turtle Rescue.

Learn about the ecology of NH turtles, their geographic distribution, threats to their populations and conservation actions currently underway. The talk will also cover actions landowners can take to benefit turtle populations and the technical assistance that NH Fish & Game can provide..

This program is free and open to the public and is taking place on Monday, April 3rd at 6:00 PM. Registration is required.

Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why -- or even who Tobias Hawthorne is.

To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.

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.

LOCAL ARTIST ON DISPLAY: Jackie Cunningham is a life-long resident of New England with a keen appreciation for its magnificent geography and beauty. Working in oils, she specializes in landscapes and still lifes.

You can enjoy the beautiful work of your Atkinson neighbor and art teacher in the Kimball Library Meeting Room throughout the month of March.
