We had a nice big group tonight for the first Book Bingo of 2024. Catch us again for more bingo and books later this month on Thursday, January 18 at 6 PM upstairs at the library!

Join us one week from today (1/9) at 5 PM for our first adult craft of 2024! This month we will be making a heart themed wall hanging to go along with any other Valentine’s Day decorations you might have at home. As space is limited, sign up soon to claim your spot!

Ring in the new year at the library with Book Bingo this evening (1/2) at 6 PM. Even if you don’t win any rounds, you’ll still be able to pick out a book of your choice to take home!

Just a reminder that we will be closed tomorrow (12/30) through New Year’s Day with regular hours resuming on Tuesday (1/2) and of course Book Bingo later on that evening at 6 PM.

Happy Holidays from everyone here at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library!

Bundle up and come on down to the library tomorrow (12/28) anytime from 5-7 PM for LEGO Club. As the library provides lots of LEGOs for everyone to build and create with, all you need to bring with you is your imagination!

Keep up to date with everything happening at your local library this January and all throughout 2024! Printed calendars are readily available each month at the front desk along with handouts that include additional information about upcoming programs and events.

Congratulations to Lisa Wood as the grand prize winner of the Harry Potter “Hunt for the Horcruxes” raffle! Along with the chocolate Golden Snitch that everyone received upon completing the scavenger hunt challenge, Lisa is the lucky winner of a complete set of Harry Potter books.

We would like to again extend a huge thank you to Lisa Eccker for donating her time and talents and for doing such a wonderful job decorating the marvelous Harry Potter themed Christmas tree for our library that so many people have enjoyed throughout the season!

Need something to do and/or somewhere to go over the upcoming holiday break? Join us at the library next week for our new STEM program “Exploration Station” on the day after Christmas!

This coming Tuesday (12/26) from 3-5 PM we’ll have all of our activity sets up and running including Magna-Tiles, marble runs, and quite a few brand new options available for the very first time as a special holiday treat!

Be sure to stop by the library before 5 PM today to load up your sleigh with all your favorite festive books and movies for over the long holiday weekend! We will be closed tomorrow (12/23) through Christmas Day with regular hours resuming on Tuesday (12/26).

Happy Holidays from everyone here at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library!

Yesterday evening at the library we were busy making magnetic slime using a recipe of familiar ingredients that you don’t often see mixed together! After placing our ingredients together in a sealed bag and fashioning ourselves little magnetic tipped wands, it was time to test the magnetic properties of our blue concoction.

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