New and exciting creative technology can be found at your local library! Through laser cutter and engraver technology, the Glowforge uses a single beam of light to cut, engrave, and shape designs from a variety of different materials.

Join us at the library for a Victorian tea party for adults. Along with having tea, there will also be a bookmark craft that will allow those attending to fashion their very own personalized bookmarks to take home. All bookmark making supplies will be supplied at this free adult crafting event.

There’s a brand new book club coming to town at the Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library! Lead by Rudy Sheptock, this new group will meet for the very first time on Thursday, June 23rd at 2 PM on the second floor of the library.

The “All Booked Up” club will be working their way through “The Walk” series by Richard Paul Evans, focusing on a single installment each time. If you’ve got a passion for reading and sharing your thoughts with others later on, “All Booked Up” is the group for you!
The library recently hosted a “Donuts With Dad” event in partnership with the NCCAH that invited children, fathers, and all family members to the library for some tasty donuts and a nifty craft to commemorate Father’s Day. We hope all that attended had a wonderful time with Dad at the library!
