Don’t forget! If you are an Allenstown resident without a library card who would like access to ebooks and e-audiobooks you can sign up online for a library card!
Message us on Facebook or email us at allenstownlib@comcast.net. Give us your full name, address, phone, and email. We will respond as quickly as we can and issue a library card number. That number can be used immediately to access ebooks and audiobooks on Overdrive and Libby.
We’re having a kids’ scavenger hunt right now with a really awesome prize. Everyone who completes the hunt gets a free rollerskating pass from REMIX Skate and Event Center!

Spice Club is back from its summer hiatus, and we have a Butterfly Pea Powder kit now available! Butterfly Pea Flowers are found in Southeast Asia, and this vibrant blue powder boasts a subtle, earthy flavor reminiscent of green tea. Try its color-changing magic in lemonade, cocktails, or baked goods. Check out one of the recipes in the kit below!
Today is the first day of September, which means it is our first day benefiting from the Hannaford Bloomin’ 4 Good Program! Starting today and for the entire month of September, our organization will receive a $1 donation for every Bloomin’ 4 Good Bouquet with the red circle sticker purchased at the Hannaford located at 73 Fort Eddy Road, Concord NH.
Flowers can make someone’s day, spread smiles, and brighten up a room. This month, they can also help the Allenstown Public Library serve someone in need. Why not purchase two, three, or even four bouquets this month?
