Kimball Library News 10/3/21

We are pleased to announce that we have a new Youth Services Librarian-Miss Katie Cloughley.

Katie is originally from Goffstown, New Hampshire and spent some time as an undergraduate working with a wildlife rehabilitator before she went on to get her MILS. She previously worked at the Bedford Public Library in Bedford, New Hampshire where she created programs -- often science-based, for children up to 12 years old. The messier the program, the better! She loves to explore and create almost as much as the kids she works with!

Her first programs coming up will be Sensory Storytime. STEAM and STEM based programming is her jam! See the details below.

SENSORY STORYTIME: Join us for an exceptional exploratory class: Sensory Storytime!

Some story times are too long!

Some classes are too easy.

Sensory Storytime is just right for your two or three-year-old who is almost ready for full storytime, but may still be challenged by so much structure. Thursday mornings at 10:30 will be just the right place for your child at Kimball Library.

Join us for one story, followed by an opportunity to play with sensory and art activities that reinforce what was heard in the story. Please register once for the fall session. Visit the online calendar or call us at 603 362-5234 to get started.

NEW CATALOG: Starting on October 19th, Kimball Library will have a new Library Catalog experience for you. The web address will be kimball.aspendiscovery.org.

Aspen is a full-featured Discovery System that integrates with eContent and other third-party providers, giving you comprehensive access to all of your materials in one place. Aspen combines the traditional library catalog with e-content, digital archives, and enrichment from all major third-party providers. It also improves relevancy and ease of use, provides native reading recommendations, displays all formats of titles within one result, and much more.

Sound too good to be true? Check it out! We value your input.

T/WEEN BOOK DISCUSSION: The book of the month is 'Girl in the Blue Coat' by Monica Hesse.

Amsterdam, 1943. Hanneke spends her days procuring and delivering sought-after black-market goods to paying customers, her nights hiding the true nature of her work from her concerned parents, and every waking moment mourning her boyfriend, who was killed on the Dutch front lines when the Germans invaded. She likes to think of her illegal work as a small act of rebellion.

On a routine delivery, a client asks Hanneke for help. Expecting to hear that Mrs. Janssen wants meat or kerosene, Hanneke is shocked by the older woman's frantic plea to find a person - a Jewish teenager Mrs. Janssen had been hiding, who has vanished without a trace from a secret room. Hanneke initially wants nothing to do with such dangerous work, but is ultimately drawn into a web of mysteries and stunning revelations that lead her into the heart of the resistance, open her eyes to the horrors of the Nazi war machine, and compel her to take desperate action.

Join the most chill t/weens and chat with us about this book on Wednesday, November 3rd, at 6:00 PM. Multiple copies of the book are here and available for check-out. Candy is served...
