Saturday morning at the library we had lots of fun together making mason bee homes in celebration of Earth Day which is coming up soon! Working with only recycled and biodegradable materials, everyone constructed a bee home and of course got to decorate the exterior as well as waterproof it so the design will last through the season.

As always, a very big thank you goes to our partners at the Northumberland County Council For The Arts and Humanities for helping us make recurring programs like this possible!

We had a very enthusiastic group of builders and lots of new faces this past week at LEGO Club. Catch us again for another Thursday evening of creativity and fun later this month on April 25 anytime from 5-6:30 PM upstairs at the library!

Earlier this week at the library we got to learn about the phases of the moon (right after the big eclipse!) prior to mixing together our own batch of glow in the dark puffy paint to illuminate the varying phases of the moon.

Don’t forget that this coming Tuesday (4/16) at 6 PM there will be another STEM program from Bloomsburg Children’s Museum available at the library. Next week we will be building cars powered by vibrating motors so some racing may be in order after the project is complete! To sign up for this free and educational event that’s designed with ages 6-13 in mind, you can visit us at the library or contact us at 570-648-3202 or shamokincoallibrary@gmail.com.

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

We hope everyone that attended our National Library Week Open House earlier this week had a splendid time, got a bite to eat, and most importantly got to learn a little about everything we do here at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library!

Join us this coming Tuesday (4/16) at 6 PM for another STEM program brought to us by Bloomsburg Children’s Museum. This time we will be building cars powered by vibrating motors so some racing may be in order after the project is complete!

Join us at the library this Saturday, April 13 at 10 AM for an “Earth Day Beehive” children’s craft! Working with recycled materials, we’ll be constructing mason bee homes and then of course decorating them as well. Space is limited and sign-up is required, so be sure to claim a spot as soon as you can by either stopping by or reaching out over the phone or through email!

We encourage everyone to join us later today at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library for our annual Open House as we celebrate National Library Week!

Whether you’re a regular patron or have never been inside our wonderful library, join us today anytime from 4:00-6:30 PM to celebrate Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library and all libraries during National Library Week!

A variety of sweet treats as well as beverages will be available throughout the event!

We got a good glimpse of the solar eclipse at the library even with all the clouds!

From all of us to all of you, happy National Library Week!

The theme for National Library Week 2024 is “Ready, Set, Library!” and this truly hits home just how important the role played by libraries still remains even in our increasingly fast paced world and lives.

Feel free to join us for a library Open House tomorrow anytime from 4:00-6:30 PM to celebrate Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library and libraries everywhere!

Just a reminder that Bloomsburg Children’s Museum will be visiting us tomorrow (4/9) at 6 PM for the first of two STEM programs scheduled for this month. Tomorrow evening we’ll be learning all about the phases of the moon, crater formation, and then concocting some glow in the dark puffy paint to wrap up the lesson!

To sign up for this free and educational event that’s designed with ages 6-13 in mind, you can visit us at the library or contact us at 570-648-3202 or shamokincoallibrary@gmail.com. Since making the puffy paint could possibly get a little messy, we recommend wearing old clothing just in case!
