Kimball Library News 12/24/23

New Year, new YOU! Maybe it’s time to consider those things you’ve been putting off and join in 2024. Take a look at some weekly adult programs that you can be a part of.

WEEKLY WINTER ADULT PROGRAMS:

BRING YOUR OWN CRAFT, PAINT & COLOR (Mondays): Come unwind, de-stress and create between 12:30 and 2:30 PM. Adults come together to dabble in painting, coloring or creative crafts using oil, acrylic, watercolor, pen and pencil. Folks are required to bring their own supplies to work on their canvas, wood, sketchpads and coloring books. Bring whatever project you are working on. Group size will be limited, and registration is required.

Research shows that creative activities help you relax. This is an open time so feel free to stay the entire two hours, leave early or come late. Remember, this is a no stress event so if you only have half an hour to spare then spend it relaxing with fellow creative art enthusiasts.

ITALIAN CONVERSATIONS (Tuesdays): 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 exercise your Italian the fun way from 6:00 to 7:45 PM.

NEEDLE CRAFTERS (Wednesdays): Whether you enjoy knitting, crocheting, rug braiding, quilting or another form of needle work come join us for Needle Crafters. Each Wednesday between 10:00 AM and noon, this informal gathering is a fun meet-up for those who are currently working on projects or who wish to start one. Are you stuck on a stitch or confused by a pattern? Most likely someone in the group can help. It is a great way to get some ideas for beginning new projects as well. This weekly meet and greet group enjoys conversation and laughs while stitching away. Please bring your own materials.

Room size capacity is limited so registration is required. We may be unable to accommodate walk-in participants. Please use the online calendar or call to get on the list.

COMMUNITY KNITTERS (Thursdays): Join this caring group who knits and donates all their items to charity. They are always welcoming new folks who are like-minded. They gather and knit from 10:00 AM and noon.

BUBBLY BABIES: Let us entertain you and your little ones with stories, finger plays, baby bounces and BUBBLES! That’s right, we’ll have the bubble machine going for this storytime on Saturday, January 13th at 10:30 AM. This is a great opportunity for working families to try a storytime program. Join us for some exceptional bonding time as well as a chance to connect with others in your community. Start your child’s life long love of libraries and reading!

This is a drop in program so no registration is necessary. Older siblings are welcome as long as they participate and don’t disrupt the class.

HOLIDAY HOURS: The Kimball Library will close on Monday, January 15th for Civil Rights Day. Stock up on items in advance, or visit our downloadable services such as Proquest, Kanopy, Hoopla, or Libby.
