Kimball Library News 1/27/2020


It’s hard to fathom but February vacation week in the Timberlane Regional School District is right around the corner!  Got a Stay-Cation planned?  We have something for the youth in your family each day of the week!  Stay tuned for more next week as well.

MOTHER GOOSE ON THE LOOSE: Infants through age 3 with their caregivers are invited to join us for simple stories, rhymes, finger plays, and songs modeling after the Mother Goose curriculum. Please feel welcome to stay after the session to allow for playtime and socializing for all ages.  Toys will be available and it’s a great way to meet parents, grandparents and children.  This happens every Monday (with a few exceptions) and registration is required. Please send us an email or call if you cannot attend to help with our preparation. Thank you!

DOGMAN K9 COMIC WORKSHOP: Come test your K-9 skills, make your own buttons, learn how to draw your own flip books, and make your own Dog Man comic! Registration is required for youth in grades K-5.  This ‘pawsome’ event is happening on Monday, February 24th, from 2:30-4:30 PM.  You do not have to already be an artist to draw comics.  Any dog can do it! Sign up!

ANIME CLUB: Join us for our first anime club meeting! We will be watching anime, making new friends and enjoying some snacks on February 24th from 6:30-7:30 PM. Feel free to bring sketch books to draw or to read manga while we watch. This launch event is for grades 6-12. We will be watching anime with ratings equivalent to PG-13. Registration is required. Non-residents are welcome!

SNOWMAN BINGO: We have a version of BINGO for non-readers so we are inviting children ages 3-6 to play along. Everyone loves playing BINGO and winning books or small prizes as we play.  It can be fun for the adults, too!  Moms, dads or caretakers will be an important part of helping to play. Register in advance so we will be sure to have ample prizes for Tuesday, February 25th from 10:30 to 11:30. (No worries, everyone will leave a winner.)

FAMILY MOVIE: They used to fear Elsa's magic, now it's their only hope. Following the events of Frozen, Elsa discovers a powerful threat that looms over their home in Arendelle. It appears to be coming from an autumnal forest full of new magic and strange creatures. With the help of Anna, Kristoff, Olaf, and Sven, they must delve deep into the strange forest, stop the mysterious force, and discover the truth behind Elsa's own powers.


Register all ages for Tuesday, February 25th for this all-age pleaser starting at 1:00 PM sharp. Popcorn will be served.  Please consider cushions, blankets or pillows for sprawling. Rated: G Runtime: 104 minutes

STOPMOTION MOVIE WORKSHOP: We'll be using library iPads and StopMotion Studio to make our very own stop motion movies. StopMotion animation has been used to create classics like Wallace and Gromit and new hits like the LEGO Movie. Small toys, characters, and props will be provided, but you are welcome to bring one or two of your own. Bring a friend too, but be sure to register for the event online. Space is limited and this event is for grades 5-12.  Create your own movie masterpiece on Tuesday, February 25th from 5:30-7:30 PM!

HOLIDAY HOURS: We will be CLOSED on February 17, 2020 observing Presidents’ Day. Overdrive Downloadable Books, the Libby App, Kanopy, and Hoopla are open 24/7 with a library card in good standing.
