From June 6 through July 23, children of all ages can stop by the Allen Public Library and pick up a reading log or register online from your own home. All logs must be returned to the library by July 30 in order for children to claim their prize. Children are encouraged to read whatever interests them and the Children's staff are happy to make recommendations.
