Spring has arrived at the Library in the form of a tree bursting with blossoms made from bills of different monetary values. Raffle tickets are available at the main circulation desk and during the May 21st Friends Book & Yard Sale. Come and see this pretty design also known as a money tree.
Tickets are priced as follows: 2 for $5.00, $ 5 for $10.00, or 12 for $20.00. Tickets can be purchased with cash or check only. All proceeds benefit The Friends of the Kimball Library who pour their hearts and souls into providing for the Library what the Town budget cannot in the form of programs, museum passes, and contributions toward large purchases such as the electronic sign.
The drawing will be held here at Kimball Library on Wednesday, June 1 at 3:00. You do not need to be present at the time of the drawing to be the winner.
THE BASICS OF BITCOIN & CRYPTOCURRENCY: Join us on Wednesday, May 27 @ 7:00 PM via ZOOM for this financially informative class.
What are cryptocurrencies? Are they the new frontiers of finance? During this introduction to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, learn about blockchain and data mining, online currency exchanges, digital wallets, investing, and the potential future challenges cryptocurrencies face.
Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, Blockchain ~ What does it mean? You can’t read the news without seeing hype about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Is this the first wave of a cashless future or just an overhyped technology? One thing is for sure: there’s a lot of money riding on its success. Join Michael as he discusses the basics about Bitcoin.
This Zoom is presented by Michael Gershbein from Very Smart People. Mr. Gershbein, while employed as a public librarian for 10 years, provided one-on-one and group instruction in all types of technology. He founded Very Smart People because he loves helping individuals of all ages and realizes that if personal technology isn’t fun and easy to use and doesn’t make our lives better, then it’s probably not worth using!
This program is a collaboration of libraries in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, including the Kimball Library. The program offered through the Kimball Library is sponsored by the Friends of the Kimball Library.
MORNING BOOK DISCUSSION: This group of bibliophiles meet monthly to discuss the selection of the month. Even in you don’t care to share, you can listen in. It’s very likely you will enjoy the conversation and make some new friends. Books can be picked up at the main circulation desk.
The book for May 25th at 10:15 is ‘The Soul of an Octopus’ by Sy Montgomery. Please register if you have never attended.
In pursuit of the wild, solitary, predatory octopus, popular naturalist Sy Montgomery has practiced true immersion journalism. From New England Aquarium tanks to the reefs of French Polynesia and the Gulf of Mexico, she has befriended octopuses with strikingly different personalities—gentle Athena, assertive Octavia, curious Kali, and joyful Karma. Each creature shows her cleverness in myriad ways: escaping enclosures like an orangutan; jetting water to bounce balls; and endlessly tricking companions with multiple “sleights of hand” to get food.
