The Annual Rotary Christmas Parade presented by the Allen Sunrise and Noon Rotary Clubs honored the Allen Public Library as Grand Marshal for its 40 years of dedicated service to the our community.

In honor of the Library’s 40^th Anniversary, some of the founding members led the various organizations that are a part of our Library’s rich heritage including the Library Staff and Board of Directors, Friends of the Library, Junior Friends, Teen Advisory Board, Teen Volunteers, and the recently formed Endowment Fund Board.

This year’s theme was “Storybook Lane” and all parade participants created entries based on their favorite storybook tales and characters.  Fortunately for the Friends, the theme goes hand-in-hand with the ALLen Reads program where our entire community is encouraged to read Marley & Me by John Grogan.  Friends walking in the parade handed out stickers promoting ALLen reads as well as celebrating the Library with fun and unique decorations.

The parade was held on Sunday, December 2^nd.  Check out the Rotary’s website to view more photos – www.allenrotary.com.
