Kimball Library News 4/13/2020


WE MISS YOU ALL AT THE KIMBALL LIBRARY! But... while we're sad we can't see you in person, we can still meet up virtually.

Join Miss Daniele and Miss Kathy for online StoryTime, STEAM Team, and Pop-up Poetry. Videos can be found on our new YouTube channel. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPMxC6H0BDxmtvdwqE_WXIw/

*All ages have been having fun viewing our Kimball Library YouTube videos! They are fun & educational and a great way to stay connected to your Kimball Library friends. 

ADULT CRAFT, PAINT & COLOR CHALLENGE (All Ages Welcome): This group continues to create while social distancing. We challenge you to maintain some form of normalcy and take a break from 10:30 – 12:30 on Fridays and spend some time creating at home. We may not be together physically, but just think how cool it is knowing others are creating at the same time!

Research has shown that there are many therapeutic benefits to coloring. The activity can help you to relax, de-stress, activate both logic and creativity parts of your cerebral hemisphere of the brain, and much more. Oh, and let us not forget, have some enjoyment at the same time.

Please join us virtually and send us a picture of what you have completed or are working on so we can share with others. All ages are welcome to participate in this virtual coloring session. Send your picture to staff@kimballlibrary.com. Pictures are not necessary but we love to show you off!

Once the Kimball Library is back open to the public you are welcome to join this Friday group -- just email us and we will gladly register you.

T/WEEN LIBRARY MEET-UP: We miss seeing all our t/ween patrons at the library. We were so disappointed we had to cancel our book group that we decided to host it online. But as it turns out, there’s a lot to talk about these days. So our former monthly book group is now a weekly virtual meeting.

Teens and tweens of the Kimball Library are welcome to join us in a virtual chat room every Wednesday at 5 pm. We share progress on individual artsy projects (drawing, singing, baking, writing poetry, etc.) Whatever it is, we want to see it and cheer you on. Be prepared to share 3-4 minutes of your mad skills with us during this week’s hang out!

Email Kathy at kwatson@kimballlibrary.com or Daniele at dguest@kimballlibrary.com for the link to join us. This link will not be offered publicly without an email request for privacy/security reasons.

TIME TO COMPLETE THE CENSUS: Census results affect planning and funding for education—including programs such as Head Start, Pell Grants, school lunches, rural education, adult education, and grants for preschool special education.

Go to this website-- https://2020census.gov 
It will only take you a few minutes to be counted!  WiFi works in our parking lot if you have a device.  Parking closer to the building helps.  😊

You have the option of completing the questionnaire by phone if you are not comfortable completing it online. To begin, call 844-330-2020.

STAY TUNED: Visit our website, FaceBook page, Twitter account, Youtube or Instagram to learn about more updates and resources to come.  We miss all our face-to-face interactions with our wonderful community, but safe practice says ‘see you online.’  We have upcoming events online as well that you or your children will be able to participate in.  See you there!
