Good luck to everyone and thank you so much for supporting Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library!

Just a reminder that Book Bingo will be held this evening (3/21) 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 of your choice to take home!

Yesterday evening at the library we got to learn about aerodynamics and air pressure while building and later launching stomp rockets! Keep an eye out for what our next visit from Bloomsburg Children’s Museum will be about, including a double booking in April to make up for the January event that got snowed out.

As always, thank you to Bloomsburg Children’s Museum for helping us bring educational programs like this into the community!

Just a reminder that this month’s STEM program brought to us by Bloomsburg Children’s Museum is tomorrow (3/19) at 6 PM. This time around we’ll be building stomp rockets out of PVC piping so be prepared to blast off!

To sign up for this free educational program designed for ages 6-13, either give us a call at 570-648-3202 or send an email to shamokincoallibrary@gmail.com.

This morning at Preschool Storytime & Movement we read “Bunny Isabel’s Easter Egg Hunt” before singing our regular songs. Later on, everyone got to color a snazzy Easter egg to take home!

We hope everyone had a splendid time at the library’s egg hunt yesterday morning! Eggs were found, lots of candy was enjoyed of course, and everyone got a festive bracelet on the way out.

This year’s event was made extra special thanks to the VIP guests we had in attendance, Mr. & Mrs. Easter Bunny. We’re so glad they hopped and stopped by the library to visit, take pictures, and dance with us all throughout the morning! 🐰🥕🥚🧺🌷

Don’t forget that the library’s Egg Hunt is tomorrow morning at 10 AM! Like in previous years, the kids will be split into two groups (ages 2-5 or grades K-3) in order to keep things fair. There’s no need to sign up for this event, simply bring your basket/bag and be ready to hunt.

And as an extra special added bonus this year, Mr. & Mrs. Easter Bunny will be in attendance and I’m sure will want to visit with all the little bunnies! 🐰🥕🥚🧺

While Raise the Region has come and gone, here’s another great opportunity to support your library!

Earlier this week at the library we held our second adult crafting session of the year. The project this time around was a pressed flower jar complete with real lights, a sure way to add a welcomed warm glow to evenings as daylight fades away!

As always, a big thank you goes to our partners at the Northumberland County Council for the Arts for helping us bring programs like this to life for the community!
