The library will be closed this Thursday and Friday, November 26 and November 27 for Thanksgiving.  Gobble up some good books along with your Thanksgiving dinner and stop in next week when we will be back to our regular hours.

We are still crafting this month!  Tuesday afternoons at 3:30PM come in to make these fun crafts and hear some great stories!

It’s almost Halloween! Come in to visit us and ask about our candy corn contest! Try to guess how many kernels of candy corn are in the mason jar at our circulation desk. Think you’re good at guessing? You could win a fun Halloween prize! And we will be announcing the winner at our first ever Trick-or-Treat at the Library on Friday, October 30 from 3-5PM. Put on your favorite costume and creep, float or slither your way to the library where we will be reading some Halloween stories. Then decorate a sugar cookie to take home as a treat! We hope to see you there! It should be a spooky time!

September is Library Card Sign-Uo Month!  We will be visiting the Allenstown Elementary School’s BBQ and Open House on September 9 at 5:30 pm.  Make sure to stop by our table to sign up for a free library card and make a craft item to take home!  Did you know that your library card gives you access to over 2 million items to borrow from other libraries in the state through the inter-library loan program?  That includes not just books, but DVDs and CDs as well!  We hope to see you at the Open House or come to the library to get your card any time we are open!!!
