Some of our pinochle players in action earlier this afternoon. Pinochle Club is held every Monday from 1-3 PM at the library and is a great opportunity for adults to learn something new while out and about in the community!
Monday morning at the library we read “One Lonely Sea Horse” during Preschool Storytime & Movement. After listening to the story and singing our regular songs, everyone got to make a jolly jellyfish featuring pipe cleaner tentacles to take home. Later during snack time we enjoyed some special doughnuts that were generously provided to help celebrate a little lady’s first birthday! 
Though some faces may have changed in recent weeks, Preschool Storytime & Movement will still be held every Monday morning at 10 AM!
Join us at the library next Saturday (10/12) at 10 AM for a Halloween popsicle stick kid’s craft! Be it a cackling pumpkin, mysterious mummy, friendly monster, or grinning scarecrow, it’ll be up to you to decide what direction to take this spooky craft. 
Space is limited and sign-up is required, so be sure to claim a spot as soon as you can by either stopping by the library or reaching out over the phone!
Even if you weren’t able to attend yesterday evening’s public meeting for Shamokin residents (“Safe Streets for All Plan”) hosted at the library, your input is still needed and valued by those developing plans for what our area may look like in the future.
If you feel strongly about what could make a particular street or public area safer, stop by the library and leave your thoughts and suggestions!
Tuesday evening at the library we held an extra special birthday edition of Book Bingo. The festivities featured lots of food, fun, and familiar faces coming together to celebrate one of our own here at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library! 🎂🎉❤️🎊
Monday morning at the library we read “Five Little Bunnies Hopping on a Hill” during Preschool Storytime & Movement. After listening to the story and singing our regular songs, everyone got to color a little bunny before enjoying their snack! 🐇🥕
Join us tomorrow (10/1) for an extra special edition of Book Bingo. Kicking off at 6 PM, we’ll be hosting “Birthday Book Bingo” since it happens to be a very special day for one of our very own here at the library! 🎂🎉💖
Keep up to date with everything happening at your local library this October and beyond! Event calendars are readily available every month at the front desk along with handouts that include additional information about upcoming programs for children, adults, or the whole family.
We hope everyone enjoyed the bee themed adult craft yesterday evening at the library. As always, thank you to our partners at the Northumberland County Council For the Arts and Humanities for helping us provide creative programs like this for the community!
Yesterday morning at Preschool Storytime & Movement we celebrated our very own Mrs. Sickora as she will soon be moving out of the area. Over the last 7 years, Joyce has been a tireless volunteer at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library and her love of caring for children has been a blessing beyond words for the library and our community.
We will miss getting to see our beloved Mrs. Sickora on Monday mornings and at other children’s programs, but will forever cherish all the fun times, excitement, confidence, and nourishment she’s given countless children across the area and beyond for so many years.
