Congrats to these lucky tablet winners that did their reading over the summer! Once again, we send our sincerest thanks to Jack Richford whose generosity allowed us to double up on our grand prizes this year. More party pictures to come!

Join us for Summer Reading Week 6 at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library! This will be our final Wednesday morning “All Together Now” for the summer and we’ll be celebrating with a wrap-up party. Included will be an ice cream sundae bar, music, balloon artist, photobooth, and more!

If you completed the reading log for this week, please be sure to show it to us when signing in so that you can receive one last chance to enter your name into our grand prize raffle of Amazon Fire HD 8 tablets. We will be drawing the winners tomorrow morning towards the end of the event so be sure to listen for your name. Even if you aren’t one of the lucky winners, everyone will receive a small prize and free book before they leave!

We would like to extend an extra big thank you to local resident Jack Richford for his generous donation that has allowed us to purchase twice as many grand prizes than in previous summers. For each week they completed their reading log, readers received either a small incentive prize or a free book along with the chance to enter their name into our grand prize tablet raffle. Lucky winners will be drawn tomorrow during our Summer Reading 2023 wrap-up party!

There was definitely something fishy at Preschool Storytime & Movement this morning thanks to the book we read about a fish learning to embrace his uniquely patterned scales which often set him apart from the crowd. After listening to the story and singing our songs, everyone then got to design a uniquely patterned fish of their own to take home. We hope to see everyone again next week!

This week Summer Reading continued with a visit from Ryan Bridge “The Bug Man” accompanied as always by his vast collection of living and preserved specimens. After getting to learn all about different members of the insect world, those brave and daring enough had the chance to hold a variety of creatures including spiders and caterpillars!
