The Allen Anthology committee is collecting submissions for our second community anthology entitled Planting Seeds…In Your Garden and Your Community. (details)
ALLen Reads is a one-book program under the leadership of the Friends of the Allen Public Library.It is unique in one-book programs in that related books are chosen as “companions” to the main book to promote families and all generations reading and talking together. The goals set for ALLen Reads are to:
stimulate interest in the pleasure and importance of reading
engage the residents of our community as we come together - in schools, families, book groups, civic organizations and more - to discuss the book and the issues it raises
encourage reading at all ages
include everyone, especially those new to the country or community
bring the community together through shared activities and experiences
See what other communities around the nation are doing! (click here)
