Summer reading sign-ups begin next week on June 17th. We are very happy that all our programs can take place in the library this summer due to the installation of new, more efficient and environmentally friendly air conditioning. The project was made possible by a grant from the Association for Rural & Small Libraries through the generosity of the Manton Foundation. We cannot thank the Association for Rural & Small Libraries (ARSL) enough for allowing us to provide a cool and comfortable environment for all of Allenstown this summer!

Stop in to pick up a clown fish craft to make at home!

The library will be closed on Monday, May 27th, in honor of Memorial Day.

Thanks to our Children’s Literacy Foundation Rural Library Grant, we are able to provide passes to Squam Lakes Natural Science Center!
