Kimball Library News 8/30/21

 The Friends of the Kimball Library 2021 Fall Book Sale will be a bag sale. The sale opens at 8:00 AM and goes until 2:00 PM on Saturday, September 25, 2021. Take your time browsing, and fill a bag provided for $5.00 or bring your own bag to be priced according to its size. Individual books can be purchased at the regular price of $.25 to $2.00. Don’t you just love a bargain?

The Friends of the Library will also be having their Yard Sale on Saturday during the same hours. All proceeds go to adult and children’s programs offered throughout the year at the Kimball Library. *The rest of the Library is open for business the normal Saturday hours 10-3.

ADULT BOOK GROUP: We are a lively group that meets monthly on Wednesdays at 10:15 AM to discuss the book we've chosen. Why not join us and take an hour talking about the book with us? Hear what others have to say and enjoy conversation with new friends. We meet in the Library Courtyard so please bring your chair. The meeting room will be used if the weather changes. Please register and give us a try.

On September 22nd we’ll be meeting to discuss ‘The New Girl’ by Daniel Silva.

Now you see her.  Now you don’t.  THE NEW GIRL.  A thriller of deception, betrayal, and vengeance.

She was covered from head to toe in expensive wool and plaid, the sort of stuff one saw at the Burberry boutique in Harrods. She carried a leather bookbag rather than a nylon backpack. Her patent leather ballet slippers were glossy and bright. She was proper, the new girl, modest. But there was something else about her…

Books are available at the main circulation desk. Come by soon to check a copy out and get started!

BROWN BAG BOOK CLUB IS BACK! Back by student request, youth in grades 3-5 meet monthly. Pick up the book of the month at the library, read it, and then come chat about it with library friends. Bring your supper or snack in a sack and we'll provide a drink and a treat.

The book this month is 'The Magic Misfits' by Neil Patrick Harris. We are meeting on Thursday, September 23rd, from 6-7:00 PM.

When street magician Carter runs away, he never expects to find friends and magic in a sleepy New England town. But like any good trick, things change instantly as greedy B.B. Bosso and his crew of crooked carnies arrive to steal anything and everything they can get their sticky fingers on.

After a fateful encounter with the local purveyor of illusion, Dante Vernon, Carter teams up with five other like-minded illusionists. Together, using both teamwork and magic, they'll set out to save the town of Mineral Wells from Bosso's villainous clutches.

Discussing books with peers is magical. Sign your child up online or give us a call to complete the registration process.

HOLIDAY CLOSING: The Library will be closed on Labor Day weekend from September 4-6 (Saturday — Monday).  Any two-day loans taken on Thursday (Sept 2) or Friday (Sept 3) won’t be due back until Tuesday (Sep 7).  STOCK UP and have a safe and happy holiday weekend.
