His presentation includes a handout of his Ten Lessons Learned, a YouTube video of hiking Angel’s Landing in Zion National Park, and over 70 images of his travels to the Parks. The presentation takes about forty-five minutes. The presentation covers a broad range of issues related to visiting our national Parks: lodging and dining, budget considerations, logistics and planning activities, and safety.

This exciting presentation will take place on Thursday, October 21st from 6-7:30 PM. Register on the online calendar for John Bunker - Visiting Our National Parks: Lessons Learned (ZOOM PROGRAM). If you’d rather talk to a human to sign up then give us a call or stop by.

About the presenter:  John Bunker resides in Stratham and has visited twenty-five national parks during the past two decades. While serving as the Associate Dean, UNH College of Health and Human Services, he developed a presentation for an undergraduate class on his adventures and misadventures to some of his favorite national parks: Badlands, Bryce, Canyonlands, Glacier, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Zion. John has now developed a presentation for NH Public Libraries and has been busy speaking throughout the state.

RAFFLE BASKETS: They’re back!  Stop in to view the beautiful raffle baskets on display at the Library.  There are 15 baskets in total and raffle tickets can be purchased at the front circulation desk.  Ticket prices are $5.00 for 2; $10.00 for 5; OR $20.00 for 12.  Tickets will be drawn on October 15th so please buy now and buy often.  You do not need to present for the drawing and winners will be notified.  Proceeds from the raffle sales support the Friends of the Kimball Library which in turn supports museum passes, adult programs, youth events such as the Summer Reading Program and MORE.

We can only take cash or checks payable to Friends of Kimball Library for the baskets. Thank you for understanding.

HERDING HOMEWORK: Reserve time slot to swing by the library and meet with a librarian. We'll help you out if you need some guidance on your assignment, or leave you to it if you just need a quiet space to work.

The bus does have a stop here. All arrangements must be made through pick-up patrol and the respective schools. The Library is not involved in this portion of the plan. Register your children each time so we know to expect them.  Look for openings on the online calendar.
