Kimball Library actually accepts book donations all year
round, but twice a year we especially urge you to clear out what you no longer
want and bring them in to us for the upcoming sale. The Town-wide Yard Sale is just around the
corner on Saturday, May 19th, and we’d like to have a large
selection for folks to peruse and purchase at our book sale. These items take some time to be sorted
through which is why we are asking for them now.
We accept books, music, and DVDs in good condition. Please be sure books are not moldy or damaged
and that music and movies are playable the entire way through. We do not accept any magazines, text books,
encyclopedias, or Reader’s Digest condensed books.
When we receive your donation, we first sort through to see if we’d like to add any of the items to our collection. If we don’t add the item(s) to our
collection, we then decide if it is to be sold or to be transferred to a charitable
organization. Celebrate Earth Day by
recycling your unwanted items which helps our environment, de-clutters your
home, and supports your local library!
Donations can be received during open hours from Monday-Friday
(10-8) and Saturday (10-3). If you have
large amounts of materials, please call ahead so we can be available to assist
you. Please gather up your items before
May 17th. We appreciate your
time and effort.
ART
RAFFLE: Enter to win a beautiful art piece! We have 7 unique pieces of art (painting or
photography) on display near our main circulation desk. Tickets are priced at $5 per ticket or 3 for

These items will be on display until Saturday, May 19th, and
on that day a winner will be drawn. You
need not to present to win, so buy early and buy often! All proceeds benefit the Friends of Kimball
Library who buy so many things (like museum passes) and sponsor the bulk of

ROBERT
ROGERS OF THE RANGERS: On a frontier where individualism flourished,
New Hampshire’s consummate woodsman was just the leader to bring his men back
safely from deep in dangerous country, even in stormy, freezing weather. 'The
famous Major Rogers’ renown was such that he became perhaps the
single-best-known American on both sides of the Atlantic. In October 1765, a
private meeting with young King George III led to the launching of an
expedition to find the long-dreamed-of Northwest passage to the Pacific – forty
years before Lewis and Clark. But who was this frontier farmer, raised in
Dunbarton? Thirty years after his death in obscurity in May 1795, Rogers'
exploits were mined by James Fenimore Cooper for his best-selling novels, and
in the 20th and 21st centuries, for other histories, novels, movies, and
television. George Morrison takes us along on a journey from colonial North
America to the 21st century.
This program, May 10th at 6:30pm, is free and open
to the public. It is made possible
through a grant from the NH Humanities.
Hosted by the Atkinson Historical Society.
