GWC: Girls Who
Code is a nonprofit organization that teaches girls computer science and
programming concepts. Kimball GWC is being run by certified Girls Who Code
instructor Pam Livingston and being assisted by Kathy Watson.
The program will take place here at the library Wednesdays
promptly at 6:30 and getting out at 7:45. The club will take place 2-3 times a
month until the end of May with some additional weeks off--especially vacation
weeks, meeting room conflicts, and the first Wednesdays will never be a week we
meet. The expectation is that you will come unless you are ill or out of town.
The lessons build weekly and to 'pass' you need to attend 80% of the meetings.
Questions? Contact Kathy Watson at kwatson@kimballlibrary.com
Please be prepared to bring a laptop or have it dropped off for you. (We do
have several to loan but having your own is a BIG plus.) This event is for
girls in grades 5-12 only. Mature 5th graders, only, please.
Residents have preference. Email Kathy Watson to discuss your
participation if you are not a Timberlane Regional School District
student. We generally do not take new
participants after November.
Stop by and check out a copy of the cookbook and spend time trying out the various recipes at home. When the group gathers the next month, we discuss the health benefits of the various recipes and share opinions of the meals tried. In addition, participants prepare and bring a sample of a recipe from the cookbook to share with the group.
Register so we know how many cookbooks to have on hand for the next meeting of this yummy event.
NEW
ENGLAND QUILTS SEPTEMBER 27th, @6:30 PM: Quilts
tell stories, and quilt history is full of myths and misinformation as well as
heart-warming tales of service and tradition. Nearly every world culture that
has cold weather uses quilted textiles-quilting is NOT just an American art.
Pam Weeks weaves world history, women's history, industrial history and just
plain wonderful stories into her presentation. Participants are invited to
bring one quilt for identification and/or story sharing. Prompted in part by
the material culture at hand, the presenter may speak about fashion fads, the
Colonial Revival, quilt-making for Civil War soldiers, and anything else quilt-related
she can squeeze in.
About the presenter: Pamela Weeks is the Binney Family Curator
of the New England Quilt Museum. Author of the book Civil War Quilts and
articles on quilt history, she lectures nationally on quilt-making and quilt
history. Weeks uses quilts to tell stories of the Civil War, women's history,
and industrial history.
Open to the public, this program is made possible by a grant
from New Hampshire Humanities. So we can
plan accordingly, please register. For
