Be sure to stop by the library this month if you’ve got little ones as we’ve got lots of fun Thanksgiving books available for the kids!

With Halloween having come and gone, your child’s costume now has another chance to be worn and loved all over again next year! Please consider donating new or gently used costumes so that as many children as possible throughout our community can have the chance to dress up next year.

Halloween costumes can be dropped off at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library on Saturday, November 11 from 10 AM to 12 PM and will be given away next fall. This effort is being organized by local business owner Lauren Zimmerman and Shamokin Area teacher Maria James. For more information please call 570-898-3921.

Looking to research your family history? Shamokin-Coal Township Public library is just the place to go! Our library offers free public access to the Ancestry Library Edition’s online database. This means that thousands of records including births/deaths, marriages, census data, and so much more can be easily retrieved with just a few simple steps!

Don’t forget that the library will be open special hours tomorrow (10/31) that will differ from normal Tuesday/Thursday evening hours. We will be open from 9:30 AM-5 PM so please keep this in mind if you need to grab books, movies, or use the computer tomorrow.
