Kimball Library News 2/13/22

Vacation week is just around the corner! If you will be enjoying a ‘stay-cation’, your first order of business is to check out the exciting events below and sign the kids up. Educational, creative, and fun times are just around the corner. Stay-cation starts at the Kimball Library!

KATIE’S CRAFTERNOON
: The rose window is a beautiful circular design used particularly in medieval churches. They use geometric shapes and stained glass to make beautiful works of art, the most famous of which can be seen in the Notre Dame cathedral. In this class, we will be designing and creating our very own out of tissue and construction paper. Hang it in your window and enjoy the dazzling light as it shines through your very own creation! Register grades 2-6 for Monday, February 28th, at 1:00 PM.

TREEHOUSE STEM: If you could design your own house, what would it look like? Now’s your chance to try! Want to add a room for your friends? Create a separate level! Steps and stairs too boring? Make a slide! We will be using common household items to create our designs. Miss Katie will show you how to make a basic design, but the rest is up to you! Your only limitation is your own imagination! Register grades two through five for Monday, February 28th, at 3:00 PM.

BIRD IN A CAGE: Littles ages in pre-kindergarten through grade one are invited to make crafty birdcages with us. It’s always fun to craft with Mrs. Birr who is the queen of paper crafting. Register the littles for Tuesday, March 1st, at 10:30 AM.

FAMILY MOVIE
: Grab your kids and head down to the Library to watch a beautiful family film.

Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Encanto” tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia, in a magical house, in a vibrant town, in a wondrous, charmed place called an Encanto. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift from super strength to the power to heal—every child except one, Mirabel (voice of Stephanie Beatriz). But when she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel decides that she, the only ordinary Madrigal, might just be her exceptional family’s last hope.

Register all ages for Tuesday, March 1st, at 1:00 PM. Children under 10 must have a parent in the building.

BALANCE BIRD STEM: This STEM program is all about BALANCE! Miss Katie will teach you how to make a Balance Bird out of common household materials and we’ll even test it out to see what it can balance on! After, we will spend our time testing other balancing equipment. This activity is geared for ages 3-6 and registration is required. Hope to see you on Wednesday, March 2nd, at 1:00 PM.

ANIME ANTICS: We're hosting a movie afternoon for all anime and manga fans. Even if you don't know what that means, this is the time to try it out!

Sign up ASAP so we can plan all the awesome snacks and crafts. Register ages 10+ for March 2nd, at 4:00 PM.

The movie is ‘Spirited Away’. Rating: PG Runtime: 2hr 5 min

Similar to our usual Sensory Storytime, Miss Katie will be reading a book and leading a finger play, then we will convene to the barn for some fun unicorn-themed sensory play!

The book of the month is 'One of us is Lying' by Karen McManus.

Pay close attention and you might solve this. On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention. Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule. Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess. Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing. Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher. And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High's notorious gossip app.

Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn't an accident. On Monday, he died. But on Tuesday, he'd planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who's still on the loose?

Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them.

We have museum passes available throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts.  For individuals planning to utilize the Kimball Library passes to visit museums and galleries in Boston, prior to making a museum reservation, we encourage individuals to visit the museum website regarding the ‘City of Boston’s B Together’ vaccine requirement which is effective: January 15, 2022.  Individuals may also visit: https://content.boston.gov/departments/mayors-office/introducing-b-together for more information.

This is simple story time geared for preschool age children. Once registered you are on the weekly roster. Anyone 3 and up is expected to wear masks in solidarity with the children regardless of vaccination status.

T/WEEN BOOK CLUB: The book of the month is Family Game Night and Other Catastrophes by Mary E. Lambert.

Annabelle has a secret . . . a secret so big she won't allow friends within five miles of her home. Her mom collects things. Their house is overflowing with stuff. It gives Annabelle's sister nightmares, her brother spends as much time as he can at friends' houses, and her dad buries himself in his work. So, when a stack of newspapers falls on Annabelle's sister, it sparks a catastrophic fight between their parents--one that might tear them all apart--and Annabelle starts to think that things at home finally need to change. Is it possible for her to clean up the family's mess? Or are they really, truly broken? Mary E. Lambert's moving and heart-breakingly funny debut novel about the things we hold dear--and the things we let go--will resonate with anyone whose life has ever felt just a little too messy.

Join the most chill t/weens and chat with us about this book on February 2nd at 6 PM. Copies are available for check-out. We serve candy and the coolest conversation. Register yourself and your bestie.

LAUNCHPADS: Launchpads tablets are an innovative and fresh way to bring fun and educational games to children. The pre-loaded content and no internet connection means that learning is self-directed; your child is free to go at their own pace and pursue the concepts that holds their interest.

Pre-loaded with content for kids and tweens, launchpads are designed with a simple, easy-to-use interface, and 100% secure. Access to powerful content is as simple as turning on each device — anytime, anywhere.

STEAM is a key focus in our Launchpad selection. Understanding science and engineering concepts in particular, are increasingly important to introduce to children at a young age so that they can better apply them at school. The games and puzzles included in these Launchpads prompt children to think in new and creative ways. We are hopeful that Launchpads will promote resilience and a love of learning. We have chosen a variety of content for toddlers through children in middle school.

The acquisition of the Launchpads was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the New Hampshire State Library. We consider ourselves fortunate to be able to lend these exciting, fun educational tablets to our youth! Drop by to see them on display and check one out.

Kimball Library News 1/2/22

Family toy time during vacation week was deemed successful, so we will continue to leave a few choice toys out for the month of January. Safety is our number one priority with having fun as a close second! The Duplos, train table, and kitchen toys will be available.

BREAD IN A BAG: Youth in grades 3-5 will be thrilled to know that Mrs. Birr is bringing back some of kitchen antics! Make 2 loaves of bread to take home and bake in your own oven. Have one loaf for dinner tonight and one more loaf for the next day or to share! It's super easy and lots of fun to make.

Registration is required, and class size is limited. This special event is taking place on Saturday, January 29th, at 10:30 AM. All aspiring bakers in grades 3-5 should sign up as soon as possible.

UNIVERSAL CLASS: Do you have any New Year’s resolutions about education?

Access Universal Class on our website. You only need a current Kimball Library card in good standing and an enquiring mind. There are over 500 online class options. Make an account and get started! Happy New Year!

BROWN BAG BOOK CLUB: Pick up the book of the month, read it, and then come chat about it with library friends. Bring your supper or snack in a sack and we'll provide a drink and a treat. This club is meeting on Thursday, January 20th at 6:00 PM.

The book this month is Superfudge by Judy Blume.

The unstoppable Farley Drexel Hatcher - better known as Fudge - is back with more adventures and sidesplitting hijinks. The story is believable, the pace quick and exciting, and the undeniable humor of the characters will leave readers breathless from laughing so much.

Twelve-year-old Peter Hatcher's brother, Fudge, has driven him up the wall since Day One! Now that he's older, Fudge is an even bigger pain; he eats worm brownies, insists on getting a myna bird for a pet, and is constantly singing words he knows how to spell.

Parents: Some Santa spoilers, please be aware.

FELTED SOAP WORKSHOP: Why should kids have all the fun? Pauline Fabiano led a great workshop this summer for kids, and now it’s time for teens and adults to join in this creative craft on Thursday, January 27th at 6:00 PM.

Learn the basics of making felted wool soap (soap and washcloth all-in-one). Felted soap is not only beautiful, but also great for your skin and for the environment. The felted wool creates a nice gentle exfoliant, plus wool is a naturally antimicrobial fiber, so you don’t need to worry about mold or mildew.

In this engaging and creative workshop, participants will be introduced to needle felting and leave with two completed bars of felted soap. Participants will choose from a variety of colorful, local wool roving to create beautiful and unique bars of soap. No two bars are ever identical! Hand-crafted soap, in a variety of scents, will be provided. However, please feel free to bring your own bars if you have a preference.

*Registration is required, and seating is limited. A non-refundable materials fee of $12.00 must be paid at time of registration. Stop in at the library and sign up in person! Registration is not confirmed until payment is received at the Library. *

This program is generously sponsored by The Friends of the Kimball Library.

HOLIDAY HOURS: We will be closed on January 17th for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  Please plan accordingly.

Overdrive Downloadable Books, Libby, Kanopy, and Hoopla are available 24/7 with a current card in good standing. Use our new Aspen Catalog and you can download and stream once you are logged into your account. Happy reading, listening, and viewing!
