Book Bingo is back! Starting this Tuesday (9/3) at 6 PM, this popular event for all ages will be returning to the library following a break over the summer. Remember that even if you don’t win any rounds, you’ll still be able to pick out a book to take home!
Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library will be closed for Labor Day this coming Monday (9/2). Normal hours will resume the following day. May everyone have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend!
Keep up to date with everything happening at your local library this September 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.
This morning at Preschool Storytime & Movement we read “Pete the Cat: Too Cool for School” since it’s already that time of year again following a fun filled summer at the library. After enjoying the book and our regular songs, everyone got to do a little coloring before picking out a red, blue, or yellow shirt for Pete to wear just like in the story!
Preschool Storytime & Movement WILL NOT be held next week (Monday, September 3) as the library will be CLOSED for Labor Day.
Join us at the library for Preschool Storytime & Movement tomorrow (8/26) at 10 AM. Although summer is winding down and a lot of older siblings have headed back to school, we’ll still be here with stories, songs, crafts, and snacks every Monday morning!
Our story for tomorrow will be “Pete the Cat: Too Cool for School” since it’s already that time of year again. Following our songs, we’ll get to do some coloring and even get to pick out what color shirt Pete should wear as he catches the reading wave!
Just a reminder that Cookbook Book Club will be meeting at the library this Monday (8/26) at 6 PM to share and discuss dishes featuring either chocolate or oatmeal as a key ingredient! Everyone is encouraged to bring a prepared dish from their own recipe collection or one selected from our many local cookbooks. For additional info or to sign up, stop by the library or give us a call!
The library was abuzz with “bee cans” this morning at our latest kid’s crafting event. Using mostly recycled materials and everyone’s individual creativity, it wasn’t long before we had bees buzzing about overhead!
As always, thank you to our partners at the Northumberland County Council For the Arts & Humanities for helping us make recurring programs like this possible. Be sure to keep an eye out for more kid’s crafts at your local library as summer turns to fall!
Looking to grab a fun read but are short on time to browse the stacks as you usually would? No worry, you’ll find lots of summer fiction titles currently on display near the front desk so you can easily grab and go. If you’re a reader on the younger side, head upstairs and catch all your “back to school” favorites in one handy spot!

Earlier this week Bloomsburg Children’s Museum visited the library for our monthly STEM adventure. Learning about radio waves and getting to build small FM sets to take home as originally planned has been rescheduled for next month’s lesson/project, so keep an eye out for that coming up later in September!
This time around, we instead got to work with robot cars that could be programmed through laying out color coded squares with each shade communicating a command to the robot like to perform a spin or change its direction. As always, thank you to Bloomsburg Children’s Museum for helping us make engaging and educational opportunities like this possible!
