Kimball Library News 1/6/2020


New year, new hobbies?

Whether you enjoy knitting, crocheting, rug braiding, quilting or another form of needle work come join us for Needle Crafters. Each Wednesday, this informal gathering is a fun meet-up for those who are currently working on projects or who wish to start one. Are you stuck on a stitch or confused by a pattern? Most likely someone in the group can help. It is a great group to get some ideas for beginning new projects as well. This weekly meet and greet group enjoys conversation and laughs all while stitching away.

Come alone or bring a friend. All experience levels and ages are welcome. You do not need to be an Atkinson resident - All are invited. Please bring your own supplies.  This opportunity happens on Wednesdays at 10:30 AM.  

Come unwind, de-stress and create every Friday at 10:30.  In this fun Friday meet-up, folks dabble in painting, coloring or creative crafting using oil, acrylic, watercolor, pen and pencil.  They work on canvas, wood and sketchpads and coloring books.  *Please bring your own materials.

Research shows that creative activities help you relax. This is an open time so feel free to stay the entire time, leave early or come late. Remember this is a no stress event so if you only have 30 minutes to spare than spend it relaxing with fellow creative art enthusiasts.

Registration is suggested for both of these activities as it helps us to plan accordingly plus we can give you a friendly reminder that you have some time set aside JUST FOR YOU!
