Check out these lovely flower pocket décor pieces fashioned this week by a group of very talented and creative local ladies! As always, we would like to thank the Northumberland County Council for the Arts for partnering with us to make events like this possible. Be sure to keep an eye out for postings concerning upcoming events at your local library!
Join us for Summer Reading Week 4 at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library! This week we will be hosting Ryan “The Bug Man” Bridge and his sprawling collection of species both living and preserved.
Just like previous weeks, registration/check-in will start at 9:30 AM and then the program will begin promptly at 10 AM. If you completed the reading log, please be sure to show it to us when signing in so that you can get a sticker for your log and the chance to enter our grand prize raffle from which several lucky winners will be drawn at the end of our time together this summer.
Following the bug out and a snack, all those that completed their reading for the week will be able to select a free book for their home library or something from the prize box. We hope to see you all tomorrow morning!
We got our very first library cards! Never forget that instant access to worlds of information are readily available at the library or online through the Axis 360 platform that’s included with your membership.
Signing up for a library card is easier than ever before! So long as an individual is at least 3 years of age and is a resident of Northumberland County, the only other things required are two forms of identification and a parent/guardian for those under 18.
We hope to see you soon!
**REMINDER** Join us at the library this Tuesday (7/25) at 5 PM for the latest installment of the adult crafting series put on with our partners at the NCCA. This month we will be making a flower pocket/holder craft that’ll fit right in with your late summer and early autumn décor. A $5 donation is requested from those attending to help cover material costs. Sign up soon as there’s just a few slots still available!

We had lots of little detectives on the case this week at the STEM program! This month’s event was a forensic science challenge where different pieces of evidence and essential clues had to be drawn together to crack the case. As always, thank you to Bloomsburg Children’s Museum for helping us bring educational opportunities like this into the community!
It was a tale of scales this morning at the library featuring all sorts of cold-blooded creatures from Reptiland! We got to see and learn about different kinds of lizards, turtles, snakes, and even got to pet an alligator. And as always, we wrapped up the morning with a tasty treat!
Join us for Summer Reading Week 3 at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library! This week we will be hosting Reptiland and their special presentation “Reptiles: The Beautiful & the Deadly” featuring a host of different creatures we’ll get to see and learn about.
Just like last week, registration/check-in will start at 9:30 AM and then the program will begin promptly at 10 AM. If you completed the reading log, please be sure to show it to us when signing in so that you can get a sticker for your log and the chance to enter our grand prize raffle from which several lucky winners will be drawn at the end of our time together this summer.
Following the Reptiland program and a snack, all those that completed their reading for the week will be able to select a free book for their home library or something from the prize box. We hope to see you all tomorrow morning!
This morning at Preschool Storytime & Movement we read a book all about the outdoors, especially the fireflies that light up our skies this time of year. Following our firefly craft, we capped off the morning with a very, very special celebration.
Our beloved volunteer Mrs. Joyce Sickora recently had a birthday and we all wanted to help her celebrate in style at a place where she is loved so much!
