Fall in love with your library (again). Even though most events are virtual and masks are required, much of the library jazz that you love the most still exists. You may stop by to browse, use the computers, or see a friendly face. We have a myriad of virtual programming for the fall as well as a few small in-person gatherings planned. Check out the website for all the details or drop by and get your information mask to mask!
BANNED BOOK RAFFLE FOR KIDS AND TEENS: Celebrate Banned Book Week by stopping by
the Library and picking up one of the titles that they don’t want you to have.
From Sept 28 – Oct 2nd, libraries are celebrating books that have been
shredded, burned, and removed from their shelves for various reasons over the
years, and making them available (as always) for you to check out. While
defeating censorship is its own reward, we’re making Banned Books Week even
sweeter this year. Check out any of these banned books and you’ll be entered
into our raffle drawing for gift cards to Thrive, Beantowne, Cherry Village
Pizza and Dunkins. You can enter up to 2 tickets per day, but there’s no limit
on how many total raffle tickets you can get for the week… just like there’s no
limit on what you can read. Take THAT, censorship!
Adults stop by and
check out the Banned Book Display located behind the main circulation
desk. Although there is no raffle
drawing, if you choose to check some of the books out there is some fun
activities to do surrounding banned and challenged books.
1000 BOOKS READING LOG: There are two options to log your reading
for 1000 Books Before Kindergarten that allow participants to join in the
program whether you’re staying at home or visiting the library in person.
To log your
reading digitally, log onto our ReadSquared account and log your books as you
go.
Email
kwatson@kimballlibrary.com or dguest@kimballlibrary.com to share when you hit
the 500 book mark so that we can set up your halfway-mark prize for pick up.
To log reading in
person, print out as many of the attached coloring sheets from our website post
as you need or come in and collect sheets at the Children’s Desk.
Not sure about
1000 Books Before Kindergarten? NH 1000 Books Before Kindergarten is an early
literacy initiative that encourages families to read to their young children
and to use the resources of their public libraries. The project is based on the
national 1000 Books Before Kindergarten initiative. NH 1000 Books Before
Kindergarten is sponsored by CHILIS and the NH State Library, and supported by
the Center for the Book at the NH State Library, the Jack and Dorothy Byrne
Foundation, the NH Academy of Family Physicians, and NH Family Voices.
NO BOOK DONATIONS: Please,
we know you want to recycle your books by giving them to us, but due to the
pandemic and storage we are not receiving donations. We especially don’t want
them left outside our doors or inside our book drop. Thank you for
understanding.
We are, however,
receiving books that you borrowed from us per usual in our book drop, and we
prefer you deposit them there so we can safely quarantine them for at least 72
hours before they go back into circulation. Please and thank you.
STAY TUNED: Visit our website, FaceBook page, Twitter
account, YouTube or Instagram to learn about more program updates and resources.
