Fairy Garden Craft at the Park

Check out all of these beautiful fairy garden projects completed this morning at Claude Kehler Park! With a wide variety of nifty fairy houses and an assortment of other magical items to choose from, everyone was able to fashion their fairy garden into a unique creation all its own.

We send our thanks as always to the Northumberland County Council For The Arts and Humanities for partnering with the library to make opportunities like this possible! 🧚🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️

“Rooted” Treasures of Our Area

So, what all can you do with a dandelion? Turns out, quite a bit! Thursday evening Shamokin’s Environmental Resiliency Plan group held their last “resiliency workshop” at the library. Led by Michele Stansberry of Shamokin’s Foraging Friends, all who attended got to learn more about the wild plants native to our area and how they can be used.

To cap off the program and truly get a taste of the possibilities, Michele whipped up some delicious dandelion pizza and dandelion coffee for everyone!

Ryan Bridge “The BugMan” Visits Library

We had a blast with Ryan Bridge “The BugMan” yesterday afternoon at the library! Ryan brings with him a large collection of preserved insects and arachnids as well as several live specimens that everyone got the chance to hold. A big thank you to “The BugMan” for entertaining and educating everyone with your passion for all things bugs! 🦋🕷🐞

Book Bingo at the Library

We hope everyone had a great time at Book Bingo this evening! All are welcome to join us later this month on Thursday, June 20 at 6 PM for bingo, books, and a delightful evening that family and friends can all come and enjoy together.

Similar to last summer, Book Bingo will not be held in July or August so next time is your last chance until the fall!
