We couldn’t have done it without YOU! The Kimball Library thanks all the local merchants who helped make our Halloween Fest raffle the best! Kudos to the Atkinson Police Department, Shaws-Plaistow, Coldwater Creek-Manchester Mall, Rugs, Rolls, & More-Plaistow, Delta Cleaning Services-Plaistow, Murphy’s Garrison Golf Center-Haverhill, MA, Atkinson Resort & Country Club, Heav’nly Donuts-Haverhill, MA, Bunting Auto Body-Atkinson, Dodge Grain-Salem, NH, Brian Magoon, Edward Jones-Plaistow, Rich Barry of Treehouse Mortgage, Debbie Tringali of Prudential Verani Realty, Christine Latino of Mad Science, and Insurance Solutions Corporation. Hundreds of people traipsed through the building donned in Halloween garb, and some toted in decorated pumpkins. Many people bought raffle tickets, went on the haunted hay ride, got their hair striped by Thing 1, got their faces painted by wonderful teenagers, got popcorn and cider, played the donut game, made a craft, marched in the costume parade and more. Beyond our local merchants, let it be known that many people donated their time and money to make this a huge success. The Friends of Kimball Library spearheaded the project and individuals from all over donated their time and talents. It bears repeating – we couldn’t have done it without YOU.
We also thank our patrons for keeping our book groups alive and well. Here’s a little reminder for November. Traditionally, the morning book group meets on the 4th Wednesday of the month. This month because it falls right before Thanksgiving the group will meet on Friday, November 20th.

Check out the following: Tweens (middle school) will discuss Stormbreaker by Horowitz on December 2, Young adults (high school) will discuss Incantation by Hoffman on December 9, and the Evening group (adults) will discuss Anatomy of Deception by Lawrence Goldstone.

December Book Discussions
December can be your month to take part in one of our discussions. Books are available for the asking, and participants are always welcome. Not sure? Come listen and you’ll be hooked! Read a hook from the publisher for each book and see…
(TWEENS-GRADES 6-8 from 6:30-7:30pm) DECEMBER 2~ “STORMBREAKER” by Anthony Horowitz.
They said his uncle Ian died in a car accident. Alex Rider knows that’s a lie, and the bullet holes in his uncle’s car confirm the truth. But nothing can prepare him for the news that the uncle he always thought he knew was really a spy for Britain’s top-secret intelligence agency. Enlisted to find his uncle’s killers and complete Ian’s final mission, Alex suddenly finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, with no way out. The original novel that started the worldwide phenomenon is now a major motion picture!
(YOUNG ADULT-GRADES 9-12 from 6:30-7:30pm) DECEMBER 9 ~ “ INCANTATION” by Alice Hoffman.
Estrella is a Marrano: During the time of the Spanish Inquisition, she is one of a community of Spanish Jews living double lives as Catholics. And she is living in a house of secrets, raised by a family who practices underground the ancient and mysterious way of wisdom known as kabbalah. When Estrella discovers her family's true identity—and her family's secrets are made public—she confronts a world she's never imagined, where new love burns and where friendship ends in flame and ash, where trust is all but vanquished and betrayal has tragic and bitter consequences.
Infused with the rich context of history and faith, in her most profoundly moving work to date, Alice Hoffman's first historical novel is a transcendent journey of discovery and loss, rebirth and remembrance.
MORNING-ADULTS from 10:15-11:30am) DECEMBER 11~ HOLIDAY PARTY AT A PRIVATE HOME
(EVENING-ADULTS from 6-7pm) DECEMBER 9~ “ANATOMY OF A DECEPTION” by Lawrence Goldstone.
In the tradition of Caleb Carr’s The Alienist and Matthew Pearl’s The Dante Club, this mesmerizing forensic thriller thrusts the reader into the operating rooms, drawing rooms, and back alleys of 1889 Philadelphia, as a doctor grapples with the principles of scientific process to track a daring killer.
In the morgue of a Philadelphia hospital, physicians uncover the corpse of a beautiful young woman. What they see takes their breath away. Within days, one doctor, Ephraim Carroll, strongly suspects that he knows the woman’s identity. . .and the horrifying events that led to her death. But in this richly atmospheric debut novel – an ingenious blend of history, suspense, and early forensic science – the most compelling chapter is yet to come, as the young doctor is plunged into a maze of murder, secrets, and unimaginable crimes.
Peopled with vibrant real-life characters such as Canadian William Osler, hailed as the Father of Modern Medicine; famed surgeon William Stewart Halsted, who performed the first emergency blood transfusion and invented surgical gloves; and the controversial painter Thomas Eakins, The Anatomy of Deception brings to life a little-known and exciting turning-point in American medical history, when ignorant butchery gave way to intelligent surgery–and a young doctor is forced to confront an agonizing moral choice between exposing a killer, undoing a wrong, and, quite possibly, protecting the future of medicine itself.
(JUNIOR-GRADES 4-5 from 4-5pm) WILL RESUME IN JANUARY

(TWEENS-GRADES 6-8 from 6:30-7:30pm) N OVEMBER 4~ “PRINCESS ACADEMY” by Shannon Hale.
Miri lives on a mountain where, for generations, her ancestors have quarried stone and lived a simple life. Then word comes that the king's priests have divined her small village the home of the future princess. In a year's time, the prince himself will come and choose his bride from among the girls of the village. The king's ministers set up an academy on the mountain, and every teenage girl must attend and learn how to become a princess.
Miri soon finds herself confronted with a harsh academy mistress, bitter competition among the girls, and her own conflicting desires to be chosen and win the heart of her childhood best friend. But when bandits seek out the academy to kidnap the future princess, Miri must rally the girls together and use a power unique to the mountain dwellers to save herself and her classmates.
(YOUNG ADULT-GRADES 9-12 from 6:30-7:30pm) NOVEMBER 11 ~ VETERAN’S DAY—LIBRARY CLOSED
(EVENING-ADULTS from 6-7pm) NOVEMBER 17~ “THE GOOD THIEF” by Hannah Tinti.
Richly imagined and gothically spooky, The Good Thief introduces one of the most appealing young heroes in contemporary fiction and ratifies Hannah Tinti as one of our most exciting talents writing today.
Twelve year-old Ren is missing his left hand. How it was lost is a mystery that Ren has been trying to solve for his entire life, as well as who his parents are, and why he was abandoned as an infant at Saint Anthony’s Orphanage for boys. When a young man named Benjamin Nab appears, claiming to be Ren’s long-lost brother, his convincing tale of how Ren lost his hand persuades the monks at the orphanage to release the boy and to give Ren some hope. But is Benjamin really who he says he is? As Ren is introduced to a life of hardscrabble adventure filled with outrageous scam artists, grave robbers, and petty thieves, he begins to suspect that Benjamin not only holds the key to his future, but to his past as well….
(JUNIOR-GRADES 4-5 from 4-5pm) WILL RESUME IN JANUARY
(MORNING-ADULTS from 10:15-11:30am) NOVEMBER 20~ “The INTERRUPION OF EVERYTHING” by Terry McMillan.
Marilyn Grimes, wife and mother of three, has made a career of deferring her dreams to build a suburban California home and lifestyle with her workaholic husband, Leon. She also troubleshoots for her grown kids, cares for her live-in mother-in-law (and elderly poodle, Snuffy), keeps tabs on her girlfriends Paulette and Bunny and her own aging mother and foster sister— and holds down a part- time job. But at forty-four, Marilyn's got too much on her plate and nothing to feed her passion. She feels like she's about ready to jump. She's just not sure where.
Highly entertaining, deeply human, a page-turner full of heart and soul, this time McMillan turns her eye to the question of how one woman can start putting her own needs higher on the to-do list while not shortchanging those she loves. The Interruption of Everything is a triumphant testament to the fact that the detour is the path, and living life "by the numbers" never quite adds up.

He’s a man and a legend, and he’s coming to Kimball Library on Saturday, October 24th from 10:30-11:30am! Come hear about him and his love of apples. A gentle and kind man, it is told that he made his drinking water from snow by melting it with his feet. Johnny Appleseed was a friend to everyone he met. Indians and settlers -- even the animals -- liked Johnny Appleseed. His clothes were made from sacks and his hat was a tin pot. This program is intended for kindergarten age and up. Be sure you do not miss him as he is not often around these parts.
If you are not prepared to make your clothes from sacks or wear a tin pot for a hat, and if your career has been downsized in our troubling economy, or you want to be prepared for the 'if and when', come spend some time with Susan Henry on Wednesday, October 28th, from 6:30-8pm. Susan is a resident of Atkinson, NH and a Certified Career Development Advisor. She holds a BS in Human Services & Psychology (Springfield College) and Master's Level Certification in Career Development (Plymouth State). She plans to address the following: how to survive a job loss, latest trends in the online job search market, how to create a resume that will be read and acted upon, why we still need cover letters, creating and honing your personal network, the best online search engines, and how to prepare for that crucial interview. If time permits, she’ll be glad to give a 10 minute critique of your current resume.
