Juneteenth

 Today marks a very special occasion! On June 19th, 1865 is when the very last group of slaves found out they were free, thereby making this a holiday to celebrate! There is so much history to learn about Juneteenth and we have a wide selection of books for you to choose from. Come visit the library and check out whatever fits your reading needs! Below is a list of the books we selected just for our wonderful patrons:

Come see Parul!

 The Main Library is still closed to the public as work on our HVAC continues, however if you are looking for physical copies of our July calendar, information about the library and children's room, or just to chat, come visit Parul outside our side entrance to the building. Patrons are not allowed inside but we will be happy to help you outside!

Main Library Update/ Summer Reading Program

Hi friends! I know that we've been off the grid for a little while but that is only because we are getting much anticipated updates to our main library building. Nothing too exciting, just some new AC, right in time for summer ;) The main library has been closed since the last week of May and will tentatively open the first week of July. Please keep a close eye on the website as many of our updates are posted there on a daily basis. Our staff has been working tirelessly at the Allwood Branch Library to get ready for summer. We have a huge variety of programs being offered this summer so don't miss out! Check out our July calendar here. We can't wait to see you this summer!

Star Wars Party

 On May 1st, we hosted an amazing Star Wars party. The children were able to make three different crafts, including Baby Yoda and Darth Vader battling it out with their pipe cleaner light sabers. We also made a rocket ship for our baby Yoda's to take a ride in. Lastly, each child was gifted with an inflatable light saber that had parents using the last of their air to blow up so their children could battle their friends! 

Check out these unforgettable pictures.
