There are some exciting new items in the Youth Department!
Book Bundles are
tote bags full of 6 picture books, a craft, and activity ideas to do at home
all around a theme. Our themes include Music, Shapes, Froggies, Clothing, Pets,
and more! Book Bundles are intended for children in Pre-K but anyone can enjoy
them.
Adventure Packs
are BRAND NEW drawstring packs themed around the beloved Magic Tree House
Series. For anyone who hasn’t read them, each Magic Tree House book brings the
siblings Jack and Annie to a different time and place where they explore
history while trying to make it back home in one piece! Each pack holds one
Magic Tree House book as well as 3 other titles that support the theme, as well
as activity ideas to do at home. Adventure Packs are designed for kids in
Grades 1-5.
Both the Book
Bundles and the Adventure Packs are available for a regular 3 week check out.
Crafts do not need to be returned, only the books and the bag do. Call us with
any questions or to reserve a bundle for pick up, st (603) 362-5234 x2 or ask
the main desk to transfer you to the Youth Department.
HALLOWEEN AT THE KIMBALL LIBRARY: We’re
open 10-3pm on Halloween, so stop by the Library on that day to show off your
costume. We’ll be giving small bags of candy and a craft kit to each and every
kiddo who stops by the Library until supplies last. You can take the craft kits
home to make your very own funny monster magnet. Don’t forget to check out a
scary Halloween book while you’re here.
ALSO, we have a spooktacular
surprise for the younger ones in the family! Watch our friend Jungle Jim as he
transforms into Dr. Junglestein! Jungle Jim is an amazing performer who has all
kinds of magical tricks and funny props up his sleeves. He’s put on a show to
record just for us here at Kimball Library. You can watch it anytime from now until
November 15th when the link expires. Get ready to interact and have a laugh.
Don’t miss his wild finale when he disappears into a giant balloon! (For all
ages, but especially geared for ages 3-9.)

CITY OF GHOSTS: Our next T/ween Book
Discussion group will meet Wednesday, November 4th at 6:30pm to talk about City
of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab.
After
a near-death experience, Cass discovers that she can see ghosts. When she meets
a mysterious girl who shares her supernatural power, they begin working
together to send ghosts beyond the Veil between the world of the living and the
world of the dead. But can this new friend be trusted? How much does Cass not
know? And will her powers be any match for the sinister Red Raven?
We’ll meet in the person with masks to talk all
things creepy, mysterious, and otherworldly. The book is available on Hoopla as
an audiobook. You won’t want to miss out!
