Kimball Library News 11/27/22

As much as we all enjoy many parts to the holiday season, we can all probably admit that it can be a little stressful at times. Guess what? It’s stressful to children as well as adults. Take a look at some of the yoga classes coming up and consider building in some relaxing and stretching for the yourself and the littles.

BALANCING BEAR YOGA: Join Balancing Bear Yoga for a 45-minute yoga class for you and your child to discover the magic of yoga through games, music, movement, breathing, and more. Your child will connect with themselves, socialize with local peers, and have fun! The class will be led by Kelsey Iani, RYT 200.

There are two separate sessions for school-aged children ages 5 to 10 that do not require adult participation. We are offering one session on Tuesday, December 13, at 5:00 PM and a second session for the same age group on Tuesday, December 20, at 3:30 PM. Please dress your child comfortably and send a water bottle.

Children may take the bus from Atkinson Academy to the Library if parents make the arrangements with pick-up patrol. (The Library is not taking responsibility for the transportation, we are only letting you know that there is a bus that stops here.) Please pack them a snack that they can have before 3:30.

*Parents MUST let the Library know of any changes to the drop off/pick up routine OR if their child is not attending the class*.

CREATING HOLIDAY GREETING & GIFT CARDS: We are offering a 2nd class on Thursday, December 8th at 12:30 PM since the first one was so much fun! Join us in creating 9 festive greeting cards and 2 gift card holders for the upcoming seasons. Library team, Cathie Piccolo and Lois Powers will provide per-cut materials, embellishments and support so you can create unique cards and gift card holders to give to friends and family.

Registration is required and seating is limited. A non-refundable materials fee of $20.00 must be paid at time of registration. Please visit the circulation desk to register today.

BALANCING BEAR *FAMILY* YOGA CLASS: Join Balancing Bear Yoga for a 45-minute yoga class on Thursday, December 29, at 10:30 AM for you and your child to discover the magic of yoga through games, music, movement, breathing, and more. This class is geared for preschool ages and need adults to be active participants. You and your child will connect with each other, socialize with local families, and have fun! The class will be led by Kelsey Iani, RYT 200.

All are welcome – moms, dads, or other caregivers! No yoga experience needed. The class content is geared toward children ages 3 to 6 although all children are welcome. It is best to have a one-to-one adult/child ratio. We will consider ‘mature’ older two-year-olds who listen well and can follow directions with focus.

Please bring one yoga/exercise mat for you and your child to share. Dress comfortably. Water is also recommended.

DECEMBER HOLIDAY HOURS: The Kimball Library will be closed on Saturday, December 24^th and Monday, December 26^th. Please note that Libby, Kanopy, and Hoopla are open 24/7 with a Kimball Library card in good standing. We wish you all a joyous and peaceful holiday season.
