Kimball Library News 6/5/22

Teen events, tween events, preschool events, adult programs and concerts! There are oceans of possibilities!

CAKE BY THE OCEAN: T/weens (Grade 5+) are welcome to participate in this exciting competition on Tuesday, June 28, at 6:00 PM. Please bake your own cupcakes in advance, and practice your decorating in the days prior if you choose.

At the event start, you will have 30 minutes to frost and decorate your three cupcakes in any way you choose. The theme is "OCEANS OF POSSIBILITIES" named after the 2022 Summer Reading Theme. A small prize will be awarded. There is only one winner so you cannot compete in pairs.

PARTICIPATION RULES~

1. Anyone can participate in grades 5-12.

2. Each participant must prepare 6 UN-decorated cupcakes prior to the event. You must bring all your decorating tools and supplies that you will need. Cupcakes can be from a box mix, from scratch, or a combination. More effort will certainly please the judges.

3. At the event, you'll have 30 minutes to decorate three cupcakes. (You bring 6 in case you make a goof.) The judges will be cutting ONE of your best 3 to taste. The other two will be put on 'display.'

4. Cupcake participants will judge the final results on presentation, creativity, effort, taste, and how well the cupcakes fit the theme 'Oceans of Possibilities' in anticipation of Summer Reading events!

5. Because of Covid, we are reluctant to have participants share their cupcakes with anyone other than the judges in the Library. (Subject to change.) We are sad about this, too. Please practice your best sanitation when preparing your cupcakes.

PARENTS: This event is FOR t/weens. Please allow them to do their own baking with minimal supervision (we understand about ovens!) This should be friendly, fun, and not fiercely competitive. The joy is in the journey! OCEANS of POSSIBILITIES for fun!

This is an 'Oceans of Possibilities' event sponsored by The Friends of Kimball Library.

RELIEVING NECK, SHOULDERS AND BACK PAIN NATURALLY: Relieving muscle pain is all about knowing the root cause.  Pills may mask the pain, but not address the solution.  When you know why and where the pain starts, then you have the power to take effective action that decreases the pain.  Join us on Tuesday, June 28, at 1:00 PM as Elizabeth Gallien, Licensed Massage Therapist, introduces and demonstrates ways to relieve neck, shoulders and back pain with stretching. Weather permitting, this event will be held in the courtyard and moved indoors in event of inclement weather.

HOLIDAY CLOSURE: Please be aware that the Library will be closed on Monday, June 20^th, in recognition of Juneteenth. As always, Libby, Hoopla, and Kanopy are open 24/7 with a valid library card.
