Kimball Library News 5/17/21

 Summer reading registration is on the horizon and youth entering grades K through college will be able to officially register starting June 11th. We have a variety of events for all ages happening from June 11-August 11. We can’t wait! Our theme this year is Tails & Tales and there will be many animal themed programs. Take a peek at the event calendar on the website to see and even register for some of the events starting in late June.

READERS THEATER:  Get your reading and drama practice ON! Reader’s Theater is a fun way to expand your reading and speaking skills. Join other children in grades 2-5 via Zoom on Thursday, June 10th, at 6:30 PM.

We have the plays and will email the script to you so you can practice your part or it can be available for pick-up. Register ASAP to get your Zoom link and a script will be prepared for you. This is wonderful practice for future radio and television stars.

CLANDESTINE JAZZ: Clandestine Jazz Collective is a group from the NH seacoast region comprised of Saxophonist Andrew Emanuel, Guitarist Keith Perry, Bassist Mikey Lathwood, and Drummer Chris Salemme. The group met during their time studying at UNH and have been very active all around New England since the groups inception. The group plays a healthy mix of jazz standards and instrumental covers of popular tunes, all with a great emphasis on improvisation and group interaction.

Register to let us know you are coming and receive concert updates and virtual viewing information for those who prefer to watch from home. This exciting concert is scheduled for June 17th at 6:00 PM. 

The summer concert series is sponsored by the Friends of the Kimball Library.  In the event of inclement weather this concert will be virtual. Stay tuned for concert updates by visiting the library website.

T/WEEN BOOK GROUP: The book of the month is 'If I Was Your Girl' by Meredith Russo and the meeting is at 6:30 PM on June 2nd.

It’s a new kind of big-hearted novel about being seen for who you really are.

Amanda Hardy is the new girl in school. Like anyone else, all she wants is to make friends and fit in. But Amanda is keeping a secret, and she's determined not to get too close to anyone.

When she meets sweet, easygoing Grant, Amanda can't help but start to let him into her life. As they spend more time together, she realizes just how much she is losing by guarding her heart. She finds herself yearning to share with Grant everything about herself, including her past. But Amanda's terrified that once she tells him the truth, he won't be able to see past it.

What’s the secret that Amanda's been keeping? It's that at her old school, she used to be Andrew. Will the truth cost Amanda her new life, and her new love?

Meredith Russo's If I Was Your Girl is a universal story about feeling different and a love story that everyone will root for.

Join us in the teen room with all the other cool kids to share what you thought about the book and make some new lit-loving friends.
