BEACH BAG SEWING: It’s time to dust off your sewing machine and get back into the creative mood.  Join instructor, Darlene Irving as she leads you in a 3-week course to make a festive, fun, summer beach bag.  You will be given a list of materials to bring to class (i.e. fabric, thread, basic tools ...) and you will need to bring your sewing machine, too.  This is a meet up / sew up group geared towards those who already have basic sewing machine skills.

Class size is limited so sign up today. This particular session will run on Wednesdays (May 17, 24, 31) from 12:30-2:30 PM.

Instructor, Darlene Irving has been sewing for over 40 years and enjoys sharing her love of sewing with others.

TECH IT OUT: Tech THIS out!  If you have an e-reader or gadget that you want to learn how to use with free downloadable books, then we can help you.  You can have a brief lesson called “Turn it On!” on your tech toy (Kindle, iPad, tablet, cell phone or other device compatible with the Libby App) and learn how to put a free library e-book on it.  This is a basic tutorial for newbies.

You are coming to the right place if you are looking for some place to get help and to learn more about your devices. Get troubleshooting assistance, learn how to use your device(s), and discover the latest library apps, news, and online services!

Please call or email for an appointment.  Ask for Kathy Watson (tech toy technician) if this is not a simple ‘over the phone or desk’ type of query. These tutorials are for resident card holders in good standing only, please. Email kwatson@kimballlibrary.com for a unique appointment time.

Limited 30-minute tutorials are also available for basic computer instructions such as setting up email, social media, using your cell phone, etc.  When you register for a lesson, please indicate your need.
