We received this marvelous piece of mail this morning at the library. We were all very happy to hear that young Mr. Zarkowski found just the right costume for Halloween this year at last month’s giveaway!
A huge thank you once again goes out to event organizers Lauren Zimmerman, Maria James, Lindsay Thomas, and Heather Krebs for putting together this initiative and for volunteering their time and effort to ensure kids all across the community feel the same way! 👻🎃😈🤖
Looking to research your family history? Shamokin-Coal Township Public library is just the place to go! Our library offers free public access to the Ancestry Library Edition online database. This means that thousands of records pertaining to births, deaths, marriages, census data, and so much more can be easily retrieved with just a few simple steps!
Free passes for the whole family to visit Bloomsburg Children’s Museum are also still available to check out from the library!
Day passes are valid for general admission only and do not cover special events/programs, classes, or workshops hosted at the museum. These passes can be checked out for 1 week and then are to be promptly returned to the library just like a book.
Please be sure to return the passes in a timely manner so that as many families as possible can take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to play, learn, and discover together! ðŸ”🌎🚀
Just a reminder that tomorrow morning at the library local artist and author Bob McCormick will be joining us to discuss his most recent publication. Starting at 10 AM, you’ll have the chance to meet Mr. McCormick and learn about his book “Reclamation: From Coal Dust to Hope” which depicts life in our region from the 19th century through today! ⚒🎨🚂
We had quite the crowd for Halloween Book Bingo this evening! All are welcome to join us next month on Tuesday, November 5 and/or Thursday, November 21 at 6 PM for bingo, books, and a delightful evening that family and friends can all come and enjoy together at the library.
Next week on Tuesday (10/22) the library will be open special hours that will differ from our regular Tuesday/Thursday evening hours due to the Shamokin Halloween Parade starting at 6 PM. We will instead be open from 9:30AM-5PM so please keep this in mind if you need to grab books, movies, or use the computer that day.
Throughout the parade, representatives from the library will be outside the building handing out bags of candy until we run out!
Earlier in the week Bloomsburg Children’s Museum visited the library for our monthly STEM adventure! This time around we learned all about the human body, the essential organs, and what role each of them play in the overall process of sustaining life. As a visual aid, everyone got to piece together a “life size you” to take home.
As always, thank you to Bloomsburg Children’s Museum for helping us make engaging and educational opportunities like this possible!
Just a reminder that Book Bingo will be held tonight at 6 PM upstairs at the library! Even if you don’t win any rounds, you’ll still be able to pick out a book or movie to take home. A spooky and splendid time is guaranteed for all! 👻🎃
A very big thank you to Kelly Anne Losiewicz along with a talented group of Shamokin Area High School students for their beautiful artwork on the front windows of the library!
