Lots of events are coming up at the library! We’ve got 4 dates of Book Bingo scheduled over the next several weeks for patrons of all ages. In partnership with the Northumberland County Council for the Arts & Humanities, crafting programs for both children and adults will be held at the library throughout February and March. If you wish to attend one of the crafting programs, please sign up either at the library or over the phone (570-648-3202).
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! There’s still time, however, to visit the library and decorate an ornament for our Valentine’s Day tree. All patrons are welcome to contribute to the tree in the spirit of community and togetherness. When visiting the library for an event or just to browse the shelves, also take notice of our festive Valentine’s Day décor throughout the library!
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 1st for the next rounds of Book Bingo at the Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library! We’ll be holding this event on the second floor and rounds will start at 6 PM. This is a free event with no signup required so you can simply show up and play! All bingo cards and cover chips will be provided.
And best of all, we’ll have a wide variety of books available as prizes for all the lucky winners!
From here on out due to this recurring event’s popularity, we’ll be hosting Book Bingo the first Tuesday of each month and every third Thursday (6 PM for both).
Future dates include February 17th (Thursday), March 1st (Tuesday), and March 17th (Thursday). See you there!
A big thank you to everyone who came out for Book Bingo at the library earlier this evening! We hope that you all had a wonderful time and were able to take home some good reads to add to your home libraries that will be cherished for years to come. Our next Book Bingo event will be Tuesday, February 1st at 6 PM. Later next month we’ll be hosting the event again on Thursday, February 17th also a 6 PM. As always, keep an eye out for additional upcoming events brought to you by your local public library!
Don’t forget that Book Bingo is tomorrow evening at 6 PM! All supplies (cards, cover chips, etc.) are provided. All ages are welcome to join us for bingo rounds up on the second floor of the library. We’ll have a varied selection of books for our lucky winners to choose from. See you all there!
Due to recent and possibly still upcoming inclement weather/conditions, the Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library will be closed today (1/17/22) and will reopen tomorrow (1/18/22) at 12 PM. Stay safe and stay warm. Happy reading!
With the possibility of winter weather coming our way Sunday evening and into Monday, please keep an eye on the library’s Facebook page, Instagram, or website to remain informed and up to date concerning a possible late opening or closure. This especially applies to the children and parents who regularly attend Preschool Storytime & Movement on Monday mornings!
Our Valentine’s Day tree is coming along quite nicely so far! We’ve had patrons of all ages color ornaments and certainly encourage more folks to join in throughout the coming weeks. Come down to the library to browse our diverse collection of materials and contribute to our holiday tree while you’re here!
