PEEK OF S.T.E.A.M: Did you hear about our S.T.E.A.M. program all winter and not get a chance to participate?  Would you like to take peek at it?  If you do, or if your little one enjoyed the class and you don’t want it to end yet, we have a special opportunity for you.  

No registration necessary, just come in on Thursdays from 11:30 to 12:30 and experience the ‘best of STEAM” on May 3, 10, 17, and 24.  This class is developmentally appropriate for ages 3-6.

BOOK, BAKE and FLEA SALE: Come one, come all!  On Saturday, May 19^th, between 8 AM and 3 PM, we will have a plethora of items for you to purchase.  Books, movies, music, and baked goodies as well as random flea market items and more will be available.  Eight pieces of original art donated by local Atkinson residents currently on display near the main circulation desk will be raffled off at the end of the day.  Raffle tickets cost $5.00 per ticket OR 3 tickets for $10.00 and may be purchased now.  All proceeds go to supporting the Friends of the Kimball Library who provide the library with so many programs for young and old, museum passes, and more.  You do not need to be present to win, but you do need to be present to purchase!  (wink wink)  Come on down!

HOLIDAY HOURS: The library will be closed for the entire Memorial Day weekend.  We will be open our regular hours on the Friday, May 25^th, from 5-8PM, and then closed Saturday, the 26^th through Monday, the 28^th.  This means, drum roll, that if you take a ‘new’ 2 day loan on Thursday the 24^th or Friday the 25^th it is not due until Tuesday, May 29^th!  Stock up accordingly!  Our doors will reopen on Tuesday at 10 AM. 

Here is friendly reminder that Overdrive Downloadable Books, the Libby app, Hoopla digital, TumbleBooks, and all our databases on our website are open 24/7 for members in good standing.  So if by chance you don’t get here when we are open, you have all these digital services to choose from!  Are you unsure how to use these digital services?  Keep reading~

TECH APPOINTMENTS: You can schedule a 30 minute appointment to get help with your electronic gadget, get answers to your queries about social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, get help setting up or organizing your email, or get in the know about any of the services in the paragraph above, and more.  The major caveat is that you must be a Kimball Library cardholder in good standing.  If you have questions you want answered or need more information on this service, please email kwatson@kimballlibrary.com with Tech Appointment in the subject line.  Or you may call the library and ask for Kathy Watson.  There are Friday tech appointments listed on our online calendar, but Kathy is flexible and will work around your schedule.
