KImball Library News 10/8/23

What’s the history of your house?

Register and join us and Erin Moulton on Thursday, November 2nd at 6:00 PM to get started!

The best thing about tracking down the history of a house is that your research subject usually stays in one place! And yet, house history projects give us the opportunity to access and explore records we also see in genealogical projects: newspapers, land deeds, city directories and more. Join us as we track the history of a local Masonic Lodge and delve into the history that is underfoot each day.

About the Presenter: Erin E. Moulton writes books and tracks dead people. Erin is the author of ‘Flutter’, ‘Tracing Stars’, ‘Chasing the Milky Way’ and ‘Keepers of the Labyrinth’. In addition to her creative pursuits, Erin has over 12 years of experience tracking down interesting real-life questions as a librarian and genealogist.

LEAF PEOPLE & WREATH MAKING FOR KIDS
: Calling all children in kindergarten through grade three! Register and come to the Library on Saturday, November 4th at 10:30 AM to make leaf people and a beautiful wreath. Hot chocolate and cookies will be served when we’re finished! Crafty Mrs. Birr will have all the supplies you need.

CURIOUS CREATURES: Curious Creatures provides experienced and professional exhibitors who teach respect and appreciation for exotic and unusual animals. Their presentation is hands-on and interactive. They include interesting facts and stories about the creatures in an educational and entertaining environment.

Please register and join us on Wednesday, November 8th at 6:00 PM for this educational and amazing presentation! Registration is limited to 50 children currently in grades K-5. Don’t delay in signing up on our online calendar.

This exciting event is sponsored by the very generous Atkinson Women’s Civic Club and we can’t wait to work with them again. Be sure to thank them when you see them!

T/WEEN BOOK CLUB: T/weens in middle and high school are invited to join and meet lit-loving friends on Wednesday, November 1st at 6:00 PM to discuss the November book A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson and help devour the candy supply.

Do you like to solve the mystery? The case is closed. Five years ago, schoolgirl Andie Bell was murdered by Sal Singh. The police know he did it. Everyone in town knows he did it. But having grown up in the same small town that was consumed by the murder, Pippa isn’t so sure. When she chooses the case as the topic for her final year project, she starts to uncover secrets that someone in town desperately wants to stay hidden. And if the real killer is still out there, how far will they go to keep Pip from the truth?

HOLIDAY HOURS: Because of the way the holiday falls this year, the Kimball Library will be closed on Friday, November 10th and Saturday, November 11th. We are closed in observance of Veteran’s Day.

Stock up on items in advance, or visit our downloadable services such as Kanopy, Hoopla, Libby, Wall St. Journal or NewsBank.
