Let’s start with the obvious.
We MISS all of you and can’t wait to safely see you!
We have had a few phone calls regarding overdues, etc. This is a good time to remind you that there
are no fines being accrued during the time of closure, and if by the time of
this publication we have an opening date we will still give a grace
period. As an FYI, our book and media
drop is open and you may return materials that belong to Kimball Library
there. Please hold onto all Sandown or
Plaistow items until their buildings physically re-open and return those
there. We promise more details about
opening and new procedures once they are clearly in place. At this time we do not have that information
or date.
NEEDLE CRAFTERS: Have you been busy crafting? Whether you
enjoy knitting, crocheting, rug braiding, quilting or another form of needle
work we would love to see what you have been working on. Send us a picture of your completed project
pictures so we can share them on our Facebook page and website.
We have had
some recently completed baby blankets knitted by Blaire McCarthy. These
blankets are part of a program that our Needle Crafters group supports. They
are donated to Community Crossroads an Atkinson nonprofit supporting adults and
children with disabilities. The blankets are given to the infants they support
after they come home from the hospital. If you would like to join us in
knitting or crocheting blankets for babies please email Lois at
lpowers@kimballlibrary.com.
If you are
new to knitting or crocheting and are stuck on a stitch and need some help let
us know as well ~ we will do our best to help remotely.
FREE STREAMING TITLES FOR TEENS: Visit https://www.audiobooksync.com to see
how you can receive two titles a week on audio that are chosen for young
adults. SYNC is a free summer audiobook
program for teens 13+. Returning April 30th and continuing 13 weeks until July
29, SYNC gives participants two thematically paired audiobooks a week.
SYNC
introduces a variety of audiobook experiences to teens to demonstrate that
reading can be completed by listening. It is sponsored by AudioFile Magazine
and titles are delivered through Sora, the student reading app from OverDrive.
In advance of accessing the program, download the app from Apple or Google, to
the device you anticipate listening on and be ready to go!
Sign-up to
get notifications each week when the FREE audiobooks are available. You can
receive alerts by text message, email newsletter, or by visiting
www.audiobooksync.com. Titles change every Thursday at 12am Eastern Time when
the program is running.
Please Note:
Signing up for these alerts will not send you the titles. The alerts will only
tell you when and where the title is available to load into the app.
DID YOU KNOW?: The Library will take your phone calls
Monday-Friday from 9-5. If by chance we
are on the line with someone else, if you leave a message with your telephone
number we will return your call as soon as possible. Calls left after hours or on the weekend will
be returned the next business day.
We are also
available via email. For general queries
you can email staff@kimballlibrary.com. If you specifically want tech support with
streaming Hoopla, Kanopy, Overdrive, or Libby email kwatson@kimballlibrary.com or
call. If you need a library card
(Atkinson residents) you can also email or call and we will set you up so you
can access all the cool streaming options.
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!
