Kimball Library News 12/24/18

It’s a new year, so it’s time to try something new!  Adults—here is an opportunity to learn something new or be involved in an activity with like-minded people.  Think about trying one of these classes or programs or events  on for size—Mahjong, Healthy Cookbook Club,  Tuesday afternoon movies, morning or evening book discussions, needle crafters (knit, crochet, quilt or more), a tech appointment to learn a new skill, or check out some of our evening events such as concerts, NH Humanities programs, and more!  For those that don’t like structured activities, join us anytime during our operational hours for a quiet place to curl up with a book, a friendly face to chat about New England weather, or make a new friend at the coffee maker and newspaper/magazine corner.  Oh, and don’t forget that we always have a puzzle going that needs contributing hands!
