Did you know that we get new books every month? Here are a few of our new books for May.

Help support the Allenstown Public Library when you shop at Shaw’s in Hooksett!

We are so thrilled to to announce that the Allenstown Public Library has been awarded The 2025 Sustainable & Resilient New England Libraries Grant!

We will use the funds to repair and repave our parking lot and to surround it with native plants that will help naturally manage water runoff.

This project is made possible by a grant from the Association for Rural & Small Libraries through the generosity of the Manton Foundation.

The library is hosting a Saturday Crafternoon on April 26th for adults only. You will be making a set of 4 coasters decorated with dried flowers. There is only room for 10 people, so you must register by calling, messaging us on Facebook, emailing, or visiting the library in person.

April’s Spice Kit is Roasted Garlic Powder! You might be familiar with regular garlic powder, but roasted garlic powder is a game-changer. It has a much sweeter, milder, and almost caramelized flavor compared to the sharper, more pungent taste of regular garlic powder. It’s perfect for adding a subtle depth to your dishes. Come check out our spice kits and elevate your cooking!

This might be my all-time favorite craft, and I’m sure it will go quickly! Stop in to pick up a Baby Yoda Pod Craft while they are available!

We have a Skating Polar Animal Magnet craft available now. Stop by to pick up one of these cuties before they all go!

Shipping delays mean our February Spice Kit became March’s, but it’s here now! Stop in to pick up a Hibiscus Spice Kit. This flower has notes of cranberry and can be made into tea or used in sweet and savory foods.

The library will be closed Thursday, February 13th due to the storm. Don’t forget Libby and Hoopla are always open!
