Don’t forget that Book Bingo is tomorrow evening at 6 PM! All supplies (cards, cover chips, etc.) are provided. All ages are welcome to join us for bingo rounds up on the second floor of the library. We’ll have a varied selection of books for our lucky winners to choose from. See you all there!
Due to recent and possibly still upcoming inclement weather/conditions, the Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library will be closed today (1/17/22) and will reopen tomorrow (1/18/22) at 12 PM. Stay safe and stay warm. Happy reading!
With the possibility of winter weather coming our way Sunday evening and into Monday, please keep an eye on the library’s Facebook page, Instagram, or website to remain informed and up to date concerning a possible late opening or closure. This especially applies to the children and parents who regularly attend Preschool Storytime & Movement on Monday mornings!
Our Valentine’s Day tree is coming along quite nicely so far! We’ve had patrons of all ages color ornaments and certainly encourage more folks to join in throughout the coming weeks. Come down to the library to browse our diverse collection of materials and contribute to our holiday tree while you’re here!

Are decorated trees just for the Christmas season? We don’t think so here at the library! We’ll be keeping our tree up on the first floor and will be decorating it for each major holiday. We encourage all children to express their creative sides through crafting Valentine’s Day themed ornaments, bringing them to the library, and hanging them on our community holiday tree. We can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
All members of Book Club, please note that there will not be a meeting this evening!
Although we recently received our first plowable snowfall of the season across the local area, the Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library is indeed open until 5 PM today!
The library will be closed New Year’s Eve (Friday) through the following Monday (1/3/22). Starting January 4th (Tuesday) of the new year, we’ll be right back to our normal hours of operation.
From all of us here at the library, we wish everyone a happy and healthy 2022!
