George E. Allen Library • Summer Reading Program
George E Allen Library is proud to announce the 2025 Summer Reading Programs. We continue to add new and exciting programs and hope you enjoy them!
We will begin our programming learning to make good decisions with The Good Choice Club. Each Monday starting June 2nd, (excluding July 7th), school age children will learn to make good choices through story times and activities. Topics will include Patience, Self-Control, Kindness, Honesty, Responsibility, Respect, Sharing, and Confidence.
Our normal programs including Paint and Sip, Chess Club, McDonald’s Story Time, and Chair Yoga, will continue through the summer. Stop by the library for a monthly event calendar.
Our mission will always be to inform, to serve, to educate, and to enrich. These things come from many things, but we will always advocate for literacy. We want children to benefit from the Summer Reading Program by making reading a lifelong habit that starts early in life. Everyone that wants to participate in the reading component of the program will receive a reading log to log reading time. Each time you reach a goal, you will receive a prize. We will also have ongoing daily activities to keep children entertained when you visit the library. Enjoy indoor scavenger hunts, guessing games, puzzles, and coloring pages every day.
We hope you are excited and make plans to join us for our “Color Our World” activities. Follow us on Facebook at George E Allen Library or visit our website at nereg.lib.ms.us for updates. If you have any questions, please contact us at 662-728-6553 Monday-Thursday 9-6, Friday-Saturday 9-5
