We had a very energized bunch this evening at LEGO Club. Catch us again for another Thursday evening of creativity and fun later this month on February 22 anytime from 5-7 PM upstairs at the library!

We had another great turnout for Book Bingo yesterday evening. Whether you’re a frequent flyer or maybe just want to try something new out in the community that the whole family can enjoy, we hope to see you for Book Bingo next Thursday (2/15) or next month on March 5 (Tuesday) and/or March 21 (Thursday) all at 6 PM!

Join us tomorrow afternoon for Mahjong! This new program for adults is held at the library every Wednesday from 1-3 PM. If you’d like to learn the American version of this game, sign up is a must so please stop by the library, give us a call, or send an email to shamokincoallibrary@gmail.com.

Come and warm up at the library with Book Bingo tomorrow evening (2/6) at 6 PM. Even if you don’t win any rounds, you’ll still be able to pick out a book of your choice to take home!

This morning at Preschool Storytime & Movement we read “Sweet Hearts” and later crafted some Valentine’s Day cards just like in the book! Preschool Storytime & Movement is held every Monday morning upstairs at the library starting at 10 AM.

Join us at the library next Saturday (2/10) at 10 AM for a Valentine’s Day kid’s craft! This month we’ll be painting ceramic hearts, so wearing some older clothes may be in order. Space is limited and sign up is required. Be sure to claim your spot soon by giving us a call or sending an email to the address listed below!

We’re all decorated for Valentine’s Day at the library! Stop by this month for books, programs, and more all while taking in and admiring the excellent decorating job done by our wonderful staff. Stay up to date with everything going on at your local library and always remember to share your love of reading with others!

To kick off the month of February, come down to the library and pick out your “Blind Date with a Book” selection from our front display area! Each book has a hint concerning what it’s about written on the outside, so it’s up to you to decide which one sparks your interest based on the clue.

Once you’ve read the book, be sure to fill out the “Rate Your Date” bookmark inside and return it for a chance to win a special prize at the end of the month!

“Reading has astonishing benefits for children: comfort and reassurance, confidence and security, relaxation, happiness and fun. Giving a child time and full attention when reading them a story tells them they matter. It builds self-esteem, vocabulary, feeds imagination and even improves their sleeping patterns.”-National Literacy Trust

Yesterday morning at Preschool Storytime & Movement we read “The Best Bug Parade” before coloring and piecing together our very own bug parades to take home.

For stories, songs, crafts, and snacks, join us at the library every Monday morning at 10 AM!
