In need of some holiday reads or movies to watch this season? Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library has a wide selection of titles just for you!

One of our employees at the library, Nika, recently gave birth to a precious baby girl named Beatrice. We are all so delighted that the mother and the baby are both doing well and even stopped by the library to see us. Our congratulations to Nika and her husband Ethan!

Ernie the Elf has arrived at Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library for the season! All the little ones are welcome to look for Ernie on the second floor. But do be warned, Ernie is a very shy elf and is often hiding amongst the shelves. Visit the library, find Ernie the Elf, and receive a free book to take home for over the holidays.

Once you find Ernie’s hiding spot, remember to leave him there for other children to find!

We hope everyone had a festive time yesterday evening at the library creating custom snowman pieces! A special thank you goes to Jeanne Shaffer and the Northumberland County Council for the Arts for partnering with the library for this event.

Congratulations to Deb Hay, the lucky winner of the library’s lottery and gift card tree!

Just in time for the holidays, we will be hosting a gingerbread house building craft in partnership with the Northumberland County Council for the Arts. This festive family craft will be held at the library on Saturday, December 17 at 10AM.

While this is a free program, families interested must sign up and are limited to one gingerbread house per family.
