Allenstown’s book dedication program is a unique way to celebrate your baby’s birth or adoption. If your little one arrived in Allenstown between January and December 2024, we invite you to register. We’ll create a personalized bookplate featuring your child’s name, birthdate, and optional photo and place it in a brand-new picture book that we add to the library’s collection. This cherished volume will be a magical starting point for a lifelong love of reading.
