Kimball Library News 4/30/23

Hey kids, we have a drop-in session for you coming up on Saturday, May 20th from 10-2. Make that confetti fly in the air with your own popper! It's custom made too, by you! The craft is geared for ages 5-8, but if parents are willing to help then any age can try. Come in anytime during the four-hour window to get popping!

FRIENDS OF KIMBALL LIBRARY SPRING FUNDRAISER: Take a peek on our website or drop in to see the custom designed ballcaps that are currently on sale!

The caps come in two colors, denim and taffy pink. They are adjustable for size and will fit teens and adults, but not young children. They are a reasonable $20 each. Pay by cash or check made out to FRIENDS OF KIMBALL LIBRARY.

Please know that your contributions are essential to the Friends as they provide critical support to the Library. They are a 501 C3 organization. They are certainly are a group that is ‘making the magic happen’. Please think about joining them! They have meetings that are open to the public typically on the third Wednesday of the month starting at 10:00 AM.

PRESCHOOL SEATS: We currently have registration space available in the following programs for children in the 3-6 year range.  Events will be ongoing until the third week in June when we transfer to drop-in preschool classes for the summer. Stay tuned!

BITTY BOOKS: Children ages 3-6 with their caregivers are invited to join us for itty bitty stories, rhymes, finger plays or songs and simple crafts.

DISCOVERY STORYTIME: Pre-K friends ages 3-6 (and their caregivers) are encouraged to join us for some tactile fun, stories, finger plays, songs, and crafts. We'll have several stations set up with fun activities that will build on our fine motor and other skills. We might get a little messy in this class, but that's part of the fun! Join us on Wednesdays at 1:00 PM.

FRIENDS BAKE, BOOK, & YARD SALE: The Friends of Kimball Library will be participating in the May 20th town-wide yard sale. They will be selling Kimball Library mugs, tote bags, hats and baked goods. They also will have books and other items from their ongoing sale shelves and a raffle for a money tree and two amazing baskets. Sale time will be from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM. The early birds get the best pickings!
