Library

A Welcoming Place to Inspire the Mind

In February 2005, the library opened in its current location at 300 N. Allen Drive. The 54,000 square foot, two-story facility serves as the main hub for the community’s cultural, information, and learning needs. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life of our users by supporting their lifelong learning and information needs. We do this by offering programs for specific user groups in our community and by providing programs and services to meet the cultural and educational needs and interests in Allen.
