At this week’s Preschool Storytime and Movement, we read, “The Magic of Me: My Magical Words.” We learned about positive affirmations we can tell ourselves….I am creative, I am beautiful, I am kind, I am loved are just a few. Then we sang and moved to our favorite songs and made pictures of what we like about ourselves….Come join us on Monday’s at 10am!
Our Library Director, Ben Shemory, is ending this chapter in his story at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library. He has been with us for over 3 years and we have enjoyed working with him! We have all worked well together to create and maintain many new programs. While we are all sad to see him go, we want to wish him well with the next chapter in his life. Come join us on Saturday, November 30, 10am-1pm, to wish our boss the best!
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, BEN!
YOU’RE THE BEST!

Mark your calendars, ponder what you’ll say to Santa, and be sure to stop by for a visit next Saturday at the library! 💝🎅🎁
We had a bountiful harvest of players make the pilgrimage to the library earlier this evening for Thanksgiving Book Bingo! As with most ‘special edition’ holiday bingo nights, the evening included themed mystery prizes and even featured a truly larger than life turkey to oversee the proceedings.
We are so very thankful that programs like this have caught on with the community and steadily grown into evenings where an entire cornucopia of kids, adults, and families all feel welcomed to come and enjoy themselves together at the library! 🦃❤️🦃
Join us tomorrow evening (11/21) for an extra special Thanksgiving edition of Book Bingo at 6 PM upstairs at the library. Even if you don’t win any rounds, you’ll still be able to pick out a book or movie to take home! 📕🦃📙
Yesterday evening at the library everyone got to build a derby car to race and then make alterations on after each run down the track in order to reach maximum speed! Through this lesson and its accompanying project, we learned a little about aerodynamics and quite a bit about weight distribution.
As always, thank you to Bloomsburg Children’s Museum for helping us bring exciting educational programs like this into the community! 🏎🏁🏎
Don’t forget that Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library now offers expanded weekend hours. Going forward we’ll be open 9AM-4:30PM on Saturdays, hopefully giving more folks a chance to visit/use their local library on weekends! 📕📖📘
Just a reminder that Mahjong for Beginners is held at the library every Wednesday afternoon from 1-3 PM. Free programs like this give area adults the chance to learn something new while also forming fresh connections with others across the community!
