Join us as José Lezcano presents a multi-media musical program
that showcases the guitar in Latin America as an instrument that speaks many
languages. Lezcano presents a variety of musical styles: indigenous strummers
in ritual festivals from Ecuador, Gaucho music from Argentina, European parlor
waltzes from Venezuela, and Afro-Brazilian samba-pagode. He also plays pieces
by Villa-Lobos, Brouwer, Lauro, Barrios, Pereira, and examples from his Fulbright-funded
research in Ecuador.
This program is free and open to the public and is made
possible through the NH Humanities and the Friends of the Kimball Library. Please help us plan accordingly register on
the phone, online, or in person to let us know that you are coming and so that
we may plan seating. This event takes
place on Monday, April 30th, at 6:30pm. Registered guests are welcome.

SNAP
CIRCUITS LAB 101: The Snap Circuits Lab will give circuit curious
youth in grades 2-5 opportunity to explore and build in step-by-step fashion
for approximately one hour on Wednesday, April 25th, at 11:00 AM.
With its easy-to-follow instructions, Snap Circuits gives your
child a hands-on education in how electrical circuits work to run the everyday
devices that they're familiar with. They'll also gain valuable lessons in
building and in following instructions. With these projects, children will
experiment with things like electric switches, integrated circuits, digital
circuits, fuses, and the transformation of circuit sounds into other sounds.
Because the projects are arranged in order of complexity, kids
can build on their skills as they progress through the manual. The lessons
start out with a simple electric light and switch project that demonstrates how
electricity is turned on and off with a switch. Further along, kids can put
together a two-speed fan, create clap-controlled sounds, and more.
STEM TOYS:
Join
us for some time exploring with our STEM building toys during Stay-Cation week on
Wednesday, April 25th. Whether you're a pro at science, technology,
engineering and math or you are just being introduced, you'll love expanding
your brain power with our magnetic tiles, brain flakes and marble runs.
Anyone under 3 must be supervised by an adult in the room at
all times due to small objects (marbles) as potential choking hazards. Drop in
anytime between 11 and 2 to enjoy these STEM toys, but please register in
advance so we can prepare properly.
