The Alliance Public Library is proud to host a number of programs for community youth of all ages:
Kids Book Club (3rd-6th grades)
The September book selection is I Survived the Attacks of September 1, 2001 by Beverly Cleary.
Group discussion is September 28 from 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Books are available at the circulation desk
Coding Clubs (K-3rd and 4th+)
The Alliance Public Library is pleased to announce the return of Code Club beginning Monday, September 13 and Wednesday, September 15! Space is limited and registration is currently open. Contact the library or visit the Circulation Desk for more information and to register.
Code Club will meet once a week at the Alliance Public Library in the back room:
- Grades K-3rd on Mondays from 4-5 pm with Cynthia using Code.org
- Grades 4-12th on Wednesdays from 4-5 pm with Tiffany using Minecraft Education Edition
Each week will build upon the previous lesson and regular attendance is critical to success. To ensure our limited space and resources are used to their full potential, we will consider participants unregistered if they do not attend for two consecutive weeks.
Both coding platforms were developed using CSTA and/or ISTE standards: visit www.csteachers.org and www.iste.org for more info.
Kindergarten through fifth grade can submit an entry form for each school-related book that they read in their reading level; their prize is a Stencil Art Kit. Grades 6-12 can submit an entry form for any book they read in their reading level with Starbucks gift cards for their prizes, one $15 card for Grades 6-8 and one $15 card for Grades 9-12. Please remember that all books must be checked out from the Alliance Public Library to be entered in the drawings, with prizes courtesy of the Alliance Public Library Foundation!

Story Time
Story Time is held for children ages 3 to 6 years on Tuesdays at 10:00 a.m. and Thursdays at 1:00 p.m. from September through the beginning of May.
The themed programs include reading time, craft time and other various activities designed to encourage young children to develop a love of books, reading and libraries. Children should be able to sit independently and focus for 30-45 minutes in order to attend.
Please register your child(ren) at the circulation desk prior to participating in story time. Parents are invited to attend with their child the first time, and then will be asked to wait for their child in the library.
We do ask that parents remain in the library during story time.
