There was an infestation of solar bugs last night at the library! Whether you chose to make a ladybug or beetle, once you feed your little creature some sun they will be crawling around before you know it.

A special thank you goes to Bloomsburg Children’s Museum for helping us bring educational opportunities like this into the community. Keep an eye out for announcements regarding the next STEM program scheduled for June 20 at 6 PM!

Join us at the library this coming Saturday (5/20) at 11 AM for a free performance by members of Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble! The featured show is “Park Protectors: The Story of the Buffalo Soldiers and the National Park Service” and will take the audience on a historical journey through the beginnings of our country’s beautiful National Parks.

**REMINDER** Join us at the library tomorrow (5/16) evening at 6 PM for the next STEM program! This month’s program is “Solar Bugs” where we’ll be learning about solar energy, how it’s captured, and what it can be used to power.

To sign up for this free event, you can visit us at the library or give us a call at 570-648-3202.

Check out this fabulous opportunity the library is offering our patrons! The Museum Cultural Pass program is part of the Lewisburg Children’s Museum’s “Count Me In” initiative. All adult patrons in good standing may check out the pass to receive free admission to the museum.

The Cultural Pass provides free admission for up to 4 patrons at a time with general admission applying to those 2 years and older. Passes are valid for general admission only and do not cover special events/programs, classes, or workshops hosted at the museum. The pass can be checked out for 1 week and then is to be promptly returned to Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library just like you’d check out and return a library book. Please be sure to return the pass in a timely manner so that as many families as possible can take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to explore, learn, and grow!

We hope everyone had a lovely evening designing patriotic décor at the library earlier this week. This event was held in partnership with the NCCA and produced an assortment of different stylings that allowed room for plenty of creativity throughout the process. As always, keep an eye on our Facebook page, Instagram, or website to stay up to date with everything going on at your local library!

Join us at the library Tuesday, May 16 at 6 PM for our monthly STEM program! This month’s program is “Solar Bugs” where we’ll be learning about solar energy, how it’s captured, and what it can be used to power.

This morning’s story was “Kitten’s First Full Moon” so naturally we colored lots of little kittens after song time. A special thank you once again goes to Rachel Farrow for generously donating a jumbo sized box of scented markers to our library. We will certainly get lots of use out of them!

Our Mother’s Day cards turned out great at Saturday’s kid’s craft! A special thank you goes out to Rachel Farrow for generously donating a brand new box of markers to our library. The kids were able to use the markers to make their cards for Mom extra special!
