Kimball Library News 7/9/23

It’s a great time to visit the Kimball Library Meeting Room to view the photography of Paul Arsenault that will be on display throughout the month of July.

PAUL ARSENAULT PHOTOGRAPHY: My love for photography began when I purchased a Pentax 35mm film camera in my early 20’s to photograph my growing family and adventures while hiking, birding, sailing and traveling. Studying photography led to my building a home darkroom and purchasing medium and large format cameras. The majority of my darkroom efforts was in creating black and white and Cibachrome prints.

My first digital camera allowed me to view my pictures online and print them on an inkjet printer. With this new technology, I scanned my 35mm slides, other negatives and transparencies. I continue to use my darkroom to process black and white 4X5 negatives for scanning and printing. My interest in landscapes, especially fall foliage, nature abstracts and old structures continues.

Many of my prints are from scanned slides, some 120 and 4X5 black and white and color prints and a few original Cibachrome prints. I hope you will enjoy the exhibit as much as I have enjoyed preparing it for you.

FIDGET SPINNERS CRAFTING: T/weens ages 10+ are invited to join Ms. Katie and Cathie P. to make your very own fidget spinner. Register yourself and your bestie for this cool crafting event happening on Monday, July 24th at 6:00 PM.

FAMILY FUN MOVIE: Zootopia is a city filled with talking animals. When a fox has to run from a crime he didn’t commit, the best cop in the city has to chase him down. That cop happens to be a rabbit. Things are not always what they seem in Zootopia. The fox and rabbit become embroiled in a conspiracy that threatens to bring them both down. They’ll have to work together to find out what’s really going on in Zootopia. Can enemies save each other’s lives and become friends?
