Now that school is out for the summer, the library is the perfect place to go! Whether it’s a crafting event or our weekly Preschool Storytime & Movement on Monday mornings, there’s almost always something happening at the library.

And most exciting of all, Summer Reading 2022 will be here in no time at all with our kickoff event scheduled for Wednesday, July 6th at 10 AM. Over the course of 6 weeks, we will be hosting all sorts of events including live reptiles and aquatic bugs, a magic show, and so much more! And remember, the library is now equipped with a stairlift so everyone will be able to visit the second floor where our weekly Wednesday summer programs are held.

So now as spring heats up and summertime arrives with its sunny days and pure blue skies, take a stroll down Independence Street in Shamokin and pay your local public library a visit. As always, be sure to check our website, Instagram, and Facebook page frequently to stay up to date with everything that’s happening at the library this summer!

Mark your calendars for another exciting event that’s coming up during the next few weeks! Shamokin-Coal Township Public Library in partnership with the NCCAH will be hosting a Family Fairy Garden event at Claude Kehler Community Park on Wednesday, June 22nd at 10 AM.

This offsite event presents a wonderful opportunity for children and their family members to really get in touch with their creative sides and the finished fairy gardens that are taken home will no doubt be delightful additions to everyone’s summer season!

However, space is limited to just 20 children so be sure to sign up at the library soon before all the slots have been claimed. Since this event involves a wide range of materials, there is a $5 charge due at sign up.

Be sure to claim your spot for this joint event and we’ll see you all at Claude Kehler Community Park in a few weeks for some fairy garden fun!
