Summer Reading has arrived at the Allen Public Library! If you haven’t picked up a reading log to track your reading progress, please stop by and we have one with your name on it. What can I read you ask? A book, magazine article, online books, audio books, read a recipe (then make it with help), or even a chapter out of a Book in the Bible. Anything, and I mean literally anything if there are words involved. Summer of 2025 is all about the Colors in our World. What colors are you seeing? Nature, cars, animals, paintings, coloring books, whatever it maybe we have books to expand your view. My favorite book is “My Head is Full of Colors” by Catherine Friend. Maria wakes up EVERY morning with new thoughts, ideas, and colors in her mind. She finds books about that day’s thought. What will be next? Will it be about horses, flowers or even more books? Check it out to find out!

Every Wednesday in July the Library will be the place to be. We will have craft, games and even read a book or two. Plans are in the works for some very special readers to join us. Don’t miss out on the surprises we have in store for you each Wednesday.

Huge THANK YOU to the Chickasaw Nation Nutrition Services - Impa’chi (Let’s Eat!) for sponsoring our Library’s summer food program. We will serve a breakfast and lunch shelf stable meal. Parents/ Guardians can pick up for the child or the child can come up and get it themselves. The program serves anyone under 18 years old. If you would like to get a 7-day box you can pick a box up on Tuesdays and Thursdays from the Chickasaw Nation Nutrition Site.

Have questions give us a call at the library (580) 857-2933.
