Earlier this week at Preschool Storytime & Movement we read “A Seed Grows” which was about how sunflowers grow and develop, sang our regular songs, did some flower crafting, and then closed with a tasty snack as always!
Join us Monday morning upstairs at the library for Preschool Storytime & Movement! Starting at 10 AM, this free weekly program for little ones always includes a story, songs, crafts, and of course a snack.
This week we’ll be reading “A Seed Grows” which tells the story of how a sunflower starts out life very small but eventually grows up into something beautiful!
Cookbook Book Club will be meeting once again at the library this coming Monday (6/24) at 6 PM! This month is all about favorite BBQ and macaroni & cheese recipes.
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!

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!
Don’t forget, prices for copies made at the library will be seeing a very small increase beginning July 1. This is the only change with all other prices remaining the same!
There was lots of hootin’ and hollerin’ yesterday evening at Book Bingo: Rodeo Edition! Since this was our last bingo until we’re back in the saddle again after the summer, we knew it had to be extra special and truly a night to remember for everyone.
This rodeo themed evening of bingo festivities included a traditional hat for all cowboys and cowgirls in attendance, light refreshments, and a stable full of mystery prizes straight from home on the range including Jolly Ranchers and Cow Tails! 
We’ve been doing some rearranging and house cleaning at the library, resulting in more books than usual being up for sale. Stop by anytime during our regular hours, feel free to browse through the books available for purchase, and fill up a whole bag for just $1.00!
Earlier this week at the library, Bloomsburg Children’s Museum visited us for our monthly STEM adventure! This time around, critical thinking skills along with how to crack codes by working with a cipher were the main focus areas.
After learning the basics of how this process works, everyone paired up and worked as a team to identify/solve a code in order to open “Top Secret” mystery boxes which had a small prize inside to take home. As always, thank you to Bloomsburg Children’s Museum for helping us make opportunities like this possible!
