We had lots of fun at Book Bingo last week and are looking forward to when our evenings together will start back up again in September. Our timeless trio (Mary, Terri, & Deb) of bingo callers will be taking July and August off as Summer Reading 2023 will be in full swing.

Although there won’t be any Book Bingo dates formally scheduled/listed again until September 5 (Tuesday) and September 21 (Thursday) at 6 PM, keep an eye out for announcements about dates/times of potential surprise popup Book Bingo sessions that may quite possibly crop up throughout the summer!

Join us nearly every single Monday morning at 10 AM for Preschool Storytime & Movement! This free program is a great way to introduce your child to the library and everything it has to offer. We listen to a story, sing songs, make a craft, and of course provide a little snack to wrap up our weekly time together.

This coming Monday we’ll be reading the book “Fabulous Fishes” and then assembling our own unique underwater scenes with lots of different ocean pals to choose from. Recurring programs like this give kids the chance to develop their emerging social skills and are a fantastic way to jumpstart a lifelong love of reading, learning, and the library!

The library would like to thank the Sierra Club of Northeast PA for their recent donation of the children’s title “Where’s Rodney?” which highlights the importance and educational value of outdoors experiences for children.

Come out to the library tomorrow evening (6/15) for Book Bingo starting at 6 PM! All ages are welcome at this free event where rounds of bingo are played and the prizes are books. Even if you don’t win any rounds, you’ll still be able to pick out a book of your choice to take home!

Join us at the library Tuesday, June 20 at 6 PM for our monthly STEM program! This month’s program is “Building a Catapult” which is an engineering challenge that will teach students how catapults work and how one can be built.

To sign up for this free event, you can visit us at the library or give us a call at 570-648-3202.

We had lots of fun at Preschool Storytime & Movement this morning! After reading “Chika Chika Boom Boom” and singing our songs, we all worked on some colorful crafts before settling in for snack time.

A very special thank you goes to Zeke and his mother for providing cake pops in celebration of his 4th birthday!

We had lots of fun with puppets at the library yesterday. Between a show and then the chance to make a puppet of their very own, a splendid time was guaranteed for all!

A special thank you goes to Mary Benson of Harmony Hill Puppet Theatre for visiting our library and introducing us to the creative world of puppetry and puppet making. Additional thanks go to our partners at the NCCA for helping us bring this unique program opportunity to our area!

Familiar faces and new friends together at LEGO Club! Catch us again or for the very first time later this month on Thursday, June 22 from 5-7 PM.
