Beloved Allenstown Librarian to be Honored

On Saturday, September 20 from 12:30-2, Mrs. Georgette Plourde will be honored with the dedication of the granite bench which now graces the patio at the library. Mrs. Plourde was a lifelong resident of Allenstown who devoted 31 years to the service of patrons of the Allenstown Public Library from 1975 to 2006. The bench was purchased with funds donated by friends, family, and community members wishing to commemorate Mrs. Plourde’s contributions to our community.
Please join us Saturday the 20th on the patio for refreshments and words of remembrance.
