The first Parent-Child Workshop series was offered in February 2019, followed by the second series in September 2019. During 2019, 39 families registered to participate. The Family Place Libraries implementation was the Library Department's featured project for FY2019 and the City of Allen made a video to highlight the benefits. You can view the video at the City of Allen's YouTube page.
In addition to our story times and programming, the Allen Public Library has STEM Kits for check out, including kits appropriate for ages 2-5. We have AWE preschool computer stations available that have been used very enthusiastically by parents and children. We also have year-round sign ups for our 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program and have enjoyed seeing an uptick in involvement.
Our families have been enthusiastic about all the events and materials offered by the Allen Public Library. We will continue to meet the challenges and opportunities presented to us as we welcome and support our community.
Currently we are operating in a temporary location while the library is expanded, with plans to open in Fall 2025. Due to the space and nature of being in a temporary location, we are able to offer many, but not all, of our typical library services.
