ORGELKIDS KIT STEAM PROJECT
JULY 9 & 10 AT 2:00 P.M. in the Randolph Town Hall
Please join us for this rare and exciting opportunity to build and play a real organ.
That’s correct! An organ building kit for young
and old alike, arrives on July 9th and 10th at Randolph Town Hall. In two days, groups of children will gather to build a pipe organ.
July 9th - Build and play. July 10th Play and take it apart. You can come for either day, or both!
The organ kit is compact, travels for easy assembly, with instructions, and was begun in the Netherlands.
This particular kit, was built in Oregon, with NH AGO funds* aided by generous gifts from the North Country.
The kit has been traveling the state to the delight of everyone involved. There is no charge to join the STEAM team.
It is exciting to be able to sponsor this special event which includes science and music alike.
*Sponsored by the Randolph Library, Music in the Great North Woods and the NH Chapter of the American Guild of Organists.

Congratulations to Bruce Kirmmse, winner of the 2025 Seven Contest!
This year's winner is also the person submitting a guess from the longest distance from Randolph --
Copenhagen, Denmark. And it just so happened that the Librarian was in Copenhagen at the time to tell him that he won!
Thank you to Howie Wemyss who was the "watcher of the seven" this year.
As many of you know, the seven filled back up with snow the following week
and many people asked if we were going to open it up for round 2!
We did not, but I think this is the first year since we started the contest in 2018 that it filled back up.

Thank you to everyone who entered this year's contest. Better luck next year -- you never know what is going to happen!
Thank you to the Friends of the RPL for purchasing these 7 new Folkmanis Puppets for the Children's Room.
Have you seen or heard any of these animals in Randolph.
