**IMPORTANT MESSAGE** The “Lemonade With Your Legislators” event that was scheduled for this afternoon at 2 PM has been cancelled. The event will be rescheduled and a new date/time will be posted here!

Summer Reading 2024 is almost here! The theme for this summer is “Adventure Begins at Your Library” with our adventures together set to begin this coming Wednesday, July 10. Like in previous years, each week registration/sign in begins at 9:30 AM and then the main program starts promptly at 10 AM.

To get ahead of the game, give us a call at 570-648-3202 to sign up your child if you haven’t already done so. We look forward to kicking off our adventures together at the library this summer and all the educational, entertaining, and exciting programs, presenters, and activities that await!

Don’t forget that Mahjong for Beginners is held every Wednesday afternoon at the library from 1-3 PM. Be sure to stay up to date with all the exciting things happening at your local library throughout the summer and beyond with one of our handy calendars!

Some of our pinochle players in action yesterday afternoon. Pinochle Club is held every Monday from 1-3 PM at the library and is a great opportunity for adults to learn something new while out and about in the community!

Be sure to stop by the library to stock up on books, movies, and more for over the holiday and into the weekend! As a reminder, the library will be closed this Thursday for the Fourth of July.

This morning at Preschool Storytime & Movement we first read a story about a trip Pete the Cat took to the beach, followed by “Corduroy’s Fourth of July” since the holiday is coming up later this week! Song time was extra special this morning as it included a festive song about fireworks that we all marched along to. Like always, we closed out the morning with a tasty snack after crafting our own fireworks to take home!

Just a reminder that there’s a new weekly program for adults now being held Mondays at the library! Pinochle Club will be held tomorrow (7/1) from 1-3 PM. Whether you’ve been playing for years or are interested in learning, feel free to join us tomorrow afternoon!

For everyone that uses the library’s copying/printing services, don’t forget that the price for black & white copies will be seeing a small increase starting tomorrow, July 1. This is the only change with all other prices remaining the same!

Looking ahead to next week, Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library will be closed Thursday, July 4th in observance of Independence Day. Regular hours will resume Friday, but be sure to stop in and stock up on books for the holiday or if you’re going away!

Keep up to date with everything happening at your local library this July and beyond! Event calendars are readily available every month at the front desk along with handouts that include additional information about upcoming programs for children, adults, or the whole family.
