Elementary Storytime (Ages 5-10)
This elementary storytime features one or two brief picture book readings, then concludes with engaging activities. Parents and caregivers participate alongside their children, making it a shared, hands-on experience.
Coy Public Library of ShippensburgStudy Hall Silent Reading Club
Trying to stay awake through a few pages of that thriller or tackling a hefty biography on your own? Enjoy quiet, distraction free reading at Gearhouse Brewing's Market Lounge alongside others who simply want time with a book. There is nothing to present or discuss, just peaceful reading at your own pace. The welcoming brew house setting provides a comfortable backdrop, and the Gearhouse menu is available to explore.
House Plant Bingo
House Plant Bingo at Grayce Gardens brings together games, greenery, and prizes in a welcoming setting. Admission is $45 per person and includes 10 games plus a small house plant to take home. Additional bingo books will be available upon arrival, with 10 cards in each. The event features 10 rounds with prizes ranging from $20 to $100, with the rarest plants saved for the end. Every participant chooses from a selection of pre-potted plants, so everyone leaves with something green, and the planting bar ensures you will still take home a new plant even without a winning card. All attendees receive a 15% discount on plants and pots purchased during the event. Markers are provided, and bringing a personal dauber is welcome. Grayce Gardens is BYOB, so snacks and beverages may be brought along. Please plan to arrive in good time to secure a seat.
Grayce GardensChapter Book Club (Ages 7-12)
