Kimball Library News 5/28/18


It’s exciting when the teen book group reads a novel that is later made into a movie.  That is the the case with the book ‘Simon Vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda’ by Becky Albertalli.  To celebrate we are planning on viewing the film starting at 7PM on 6/13.  The t/weens read this as a group earlier in the year for teen book discussion, and now we will compare the book to the movie. We’re meeting after an abbreviated session of our June book discussion on Wednesday the 13th that starts at 6:30. People who did not read the book are still welcome to join us for this film or the discussion around ‘Flowers for Algernon’ by Daniel Keyes which is the June book of the month.

The film has a run time of 110 minutes and will finish after the library is officially closed, around 9pm. It is rated PG-13.  We welcome teens and tweens in middle school or high school to register to join us.  We’re sure the film will generate much discussion the way the book did!

UKULELES ROCK with LET’S PLAY MUSIC: Have you ever wanted to learn the ukulele? This instrument is among the easiest to learn and fun to play, making it a popular choice for all ages! You will come away from this hands-on, 45 minute workshop knowing basic chord forms and everything you need to know to play some simple two to three chord songs. Dazzle your friends, family and yourself with your new found musical talent. If you already have a ukulele, feel free to bring it.  If not, we’ll have several on hand for you to try.

LEARN MUSICALLY AND ROCK ON: Whether you are an experienced musician, or you have no experience with music other than listening to it, you can learn something new about several different musical skills at this event on Wednesday, June 27th, at 6:30 PM.

Learn from the experts! You will have a chance to learn some basic ballet and jazz dance steps, learn about different instruments that make up a band or orchestra, and get an introduction to the wonderful flute instrument!
