You may be wondering if the Kimball Library kids won the summer reading challenge!
The
national theme that most NH libraries are using is ALL TOGETHER NOW which
denotes kindness, friendship, and unity and Kimball Library is on the
bandwagon!
Last year's
challenge was for 200 registrations and the kids won that challenge! The result
was making Kathy Watson dye her hair blue. Were the youth in Atkinson up for
the challenge? Kids and teens should have registered to read and convinced
their friends and family to register, too!
This year
if 225 youth registered for summer reading (preschool through teen years),
there will be 4 WACKY WEDNESDAYS in August (2, 9, 16, 30) where Ms. Kathy will
work 10-hour shifts in a rainbow UNICORN onesie from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM! All
ages may visit for photo ops and a rainbow treat. It would be a shame for that opportunity to
be lost, so let’s cross fingers that everyone that could participated!
At the time
of the writing of this press release on July 14th, there were 190
registrations. Check out the website on August 1st to see who the
winner is! Is it the kids or Kathy…?
POKEMON TERRARIUMS: Do you love Pokemon? Learn how to
make a habitat just for your favorite friend. T/weens ages 10+ are invited to
register for this special event happening on Tuesday, August 1st at
4:00 PM. All materials will be included, but feel free to bring your own
special additions.
ITALIAN CONVERSATIONS STUDY GROUP:
This adult study group focuses on practicing speaking Italian by helping each
other through shared resources, various activities and games. If you are fluent
or are learning the language with a basic understanding of Italian vocab,
grammar and verb conjugations (present tense), please come join us to further
exercise your Italian the fun way! We’ll be meeting on Tuesdays at 6:00 PM.
SUMMER READING FINALE: Past practice has indicated that everyone is excited
to close out the Summer Reading Program by petting cute farm animals and
slurping up Kona Ice! Please register to join us on Wednesday, August 2nd
to enjoy time with Mcdonny’s Farm who will feature petting pens with chicks, a
goat, bunnies, and more. We also will be providing summer reading participants
with a ticket to visit the Kona Ice truck!
This super fun finale is sponsored by the
Ruth Campbell Fund. Thank you to all our registered readers for all always
making our summer special.
WALKING
TACOS: YES! It's walking tacos. Can't
go to Mexico? Make your own dinner tonight right in the bag! Come have fun and
cook with a friend.

join Chef Birr to learn a bit about Mexico and make some tasty tacos on
