The Kimball Library is temporarily closed but we have plenty of materials that can be accessed online. Hoopla, Overdrive/Libby App and Kanopy are all excellent sources for e-books, audiobooks, and even movies. So many titles can be overwhelming though, particularly when you’re used to browsing in person.
To help, our staff here at Kimball Library would like to offer personalized recommendations to anyone who’d like them, from ages 3-103!
Fill out a nifty form online that is located on our website in a post entitled ‘Personalized Recommendations’. Our librarian will get back to you within 24 hours with 2-3 cool new streaming titles for you to check out.
Need help logging on? Email kwatson@kimballlibrary.com with any technical questions and she will help set you up.

SEND US YOUR STORY: We’re living in historic
times. Kimball Library would like to record this time in our shared history by
compiling personal experiences and stories during the coronavirus pandemic.
Share your
experience with a photo, a letter, a short story, a poem, anything that depicts
how you are facing this historic event. Send story to staff@kimballlibrary.com.
We’ll archive our town’s collective experience on our library website.
Thank you to
Wilton Public Library for the idea.
Be well and
take care of yourselves and each other.
