It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes many hands to make light work. We are in the business of offering you opportunities to serve and give back to your community at the library. You could do that here at Kimball Library if you have one hour a week consistently to give away and you are a detail-oriented person who is sixteen or older. We can use those folks who are willing to shelve books once a week for one hour. Some lifting and bending is involved as well as great attention to alphabetization, order, and the decimal system. We will train you, but we need a minimum of a 6 week trial and then a 6 month commitment from you if we both feel this is the place for you. Contact Kathy Watson at (603) 362-5234 for more information and a volunteer application.
We have some news regarding our fictional DVDs that we are quite sure will please you. Traditionally our loan period has been for 2 days for all movies in this category. Now, however, you may take out any fictional DVD that we have had for 6 months or longer for a loan period of one week. Our late fees will remain the same if you return them later than the due date, but you now have five extra days to watch your films and get them back for free. This is just our way of making your life easier.
Even more good news to enjoy is that we have another new way to save you money and add some entertainment to your life. We are now carrying a discount pass for the Merrimack Repertory Theatre. It is good for $10 off each ticket, limit 6 tickets per performance of MRT's 2011-2012 season. *This is NOT VALID FOR SPECIAL EVENTS* and may only be used once per person, per performance.
The pass must be presented at MRT's Box Office to receive tickets. Tickets may be reserved and paid for in advance with the ID Number, on the front of this pass, but the pass must be brought to the theater the day of the performance to receive the tickets.
All ticket sales are final. No refunds or exchanges.

Tie a string on your finger to remind yourself about the Saturday Cinema coming up on September 17th at 10:30am. This is one of animation’s finest with kooky characters and tunes to hum along. Pack up the kids and scoot out if they are at least age 6 with a permission slip signed or stick around and enjoy the show for ages 5 and under. We appreciate your registrations in advance. Please bring movie snacks, candy, or bottled drinks along with pillows if the kids prefer to sack out on the floor. Make our Saturday shows part of your family traditions.
Book reading adults need to tie a string on their fingers to remember ‘A Stranger in the Kingdom by Howard Frank Mosher book discussion on Tuesday, September 20, at 6pm. Books are at the main circulation desk and there is still time to read one. Stop by for your copy today. Newbies are always welcomed.
If photography is more your thing, tie a string around your finger for ‘Dream It! Plan It! Do It!: Visiting & Photographing the National Parks’ on September 20th at 6:30PM. Ron Wybranoski will present this multi-media presentation about planning a photo trip to the National Parks. It is a step-by-step guide to setting an itinerary, researching the parks, using maps, guides, books and the web to select your route. Several useful photo and travel tips will be covered as well as how to create a wish list of specific places to visit and images to take. Besides many of the well-known parks such as Zion, Arches, the Tetons and Yellowstone, many lesser known locations such as the Wave and White Pocket in Southern Utah, Hoodoos, Escalante, Cathedral Valley in Capital Reef, White Sands and Badlands will be discussed.
Tie a string if bargains are your thing! The Friends of the Library Fall ‘Book and Bake Sale’ takes place on Saturday, September 24th. As is our custom, this is held in conjunction with the Town Wide Yard Sale from 8am-3pm. This is a great day to see friends from town and collect some items at an advantageous price as well. Bargain shoppers and browsers will enjoy a chance to look leisurely through our numerous sale books, bump into some familiar faces, and pick up some delectable goodies en route. Books will be individually priced as well as opportunities for ‘bargains by the bagful.’ Show your support by stopping by and stocking up. You won’t need a string when you enter the building to remember to pick up some baked goods or popcorn as we are pretty sure the smells wafting through the doorway will trigger your memory. Proceeds from the sale benefit the ‘Friends’ group which in turn benefits us. We thank you in advance for your patronage.

Continuing on from our thankfulness theme from the last article to our gift sponsors for summer reading, we now take a moment to extend our thanks to those who ‘performed’ in our events. Please join us for a shout out to ‘Reptiles on the Move’ who shared their unique creatures with us, Deepal Vora, an amazing henna artist who professionally and tastefully tatted up the teens, and Sonny Charles from Defense with Dignity who gave teens tools to work with in situations where they might be in danger and ways to escape safely. We were very pleased with the services from these top-notch organizations that went above and beyond to connect with the children and teens. We highly recommend them all.

Summer reading programs for children and teens are officially closed which is sad, but we have a lot to be thankful for as well as a lot of thanks to convey. It was a record-breaking year with over 250 combined child and teen registrations. Most of the children’s programs were maxed out for registrations hosting 30 plus for each event. The teens came out in record numbers as well. The children ‘traveled’ to France, Japan, Mexico, and Italy and ate various delicacies from each country represented. Over 80 children, teens, and adults joined us for ‘Reptiles on the Move’. The teens showed off their talents in a cooking contest, showed us their moves in self-defense, and got tatted up with henna. Children read approximately 29,000 minutes while the teens read and participated to the tune of roughly 500 tickets. (Most tickets equaled one book less than 200 pages, and if a book was 200 or above 2 tickets could be submitted.) All of these milestones make us incredibly proud of the youth of this area who chose to spend a portion of their summer reading, expanding their horizons, and with us.
We are incredibly thankful to ‘The Friends of Kimball Library’ who fundraise and provide us with prizes, performers, and programs for the reading programs. If it were not for the hard work and generosity of this group we would not be able to have summer reading program of any substance at all. Likewise, it takes donations from local businesses to whom we also grateful. We tip our hats to the following:
• Hannaford (E. Hampstead, NH)
• EGGIE’S Family Restaurant (Atkinson, NH)
• Charmingfare Farm (Candia, NH)
• StoryLand (Glen, NH)
• Cedarland (Haverhill, MA)
• Victorian Park (Salem, NH)
• Masiello Group (Atkinson, NH)
• East Coast Lumber (E. Hampstead, NH)
• McDonald’s Restaurants (Haverhill, MA)
• Fisher Cats (Manchester, NH)
• Canobie Lake Park (Salem, NH)
• Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey
• Topsfield Fair (Topsfield, MA)
• Rye Airfield (Rye, NH)
Without the support of our sponsors we would not be able to offer prizes which are a fabulous incentive for any age. Please join us in thanking them by frequenting their places of business. It is especially noteworthy for them to give generously in economic times such as these. We also had a number of individual private donations and we offer our kudos to those who thought of us as well.
Summer reading programs may be closed, but we are not. We are open Monday-Friday from 10am-8pm as well as Saturdays from 10am-3pm. Enjoy our a/c on the last lazy days of summer. Chill out with some magazines, music, computer use, fiction or non-fiction, audio books, eBooks, DVDs, television series DVDs, graphic novels, comics, manga, etc. The possibilities are mind-blowing because they are all for free! Take advantage of the goldmine at your doorstep.
Reminder: WOW, a LUAU at the library! Save the date ~Friday, August 19, from 5-8pm. Aloha.

Without the support of our sponsors we would not be able to offer prizes which are a fabulous incentive for any age. Please join us in thanking them by frequenting their places of business. It is especially noteworthy for them to give generously in economic times such as these. We also had a number of individual private donations and we offer our kudos to those who thought of us as well.
Summer reading programs may be closed, but we are not. We are open Monday-Friday from 10am-8pm as well as Saturdays from 10am-3pm. Enjoy our a/c on the last lazy days of summer. Chill out with some magazines, music, computer use, fiction or non-fiction, audio books, eBooks, DVDs, television series DVDs, graphic novels, comics, manga, etc. The possibilities are mind-blowing because they are all for free! Take advantage of the goldmine at your doorstep.
Reminder: WOW, a LUAU at the library! Save the date ~Friday, August 19, from 5-8pm. Aloha.
