🚌 School Bus Safety Program 🚨

The Allen Park Public Schools, in partnership with the Allen Park Police Department, is launching a new school bus safety program with to help make our roads safer for students.

Beginning Today, Monday, October 19th, 2026, school buses that are equipped with stop-arm cameras designed to detect vehicles that fail to stop when required by law will be forwarded to the police department and violators will be issued a citation.

⚠️ Know the law:
When a school bus is stopped with red lights flashing and the stop arm extended, drivers must come to a complete stop.

This initiative is focused on increasing safety, accountability, and awareness to better protect our children on their way to and from school.

Please stay alert, follow the law, and help us keep our students safe.

Happy Finish Finish Friday!🥳

We missed last week's post, so we have two weeks worth of fabulous fiber crafts to show off.

Michelle finished a baby blanket👶🏼 and the most adorable hot air balloon 🎈mobile. Both are sure to bring years of enjoyment to the recipients.

Ashley recently finished a winter wardrobe ensemble for her son, and her daughter could not be outdone. This week, Ashley completed the hat🤠, mitten, and scarf set in the loveliest teal and pink color combo.

And Pat crocheted not one, but two sparkly snowflakes❄ which will bring a fun touch of whimsy to her holiday tree🎄.

All of the projects above were created by the very talented ladies in our Needles🧶, Hooks, & Books fiber crafting group which meets every Thursday evening from 6-7:30 pm in the Library Meeting Room. This group is best suited to ages 18+ and all skill levels are welcome.

There is no registration or residency requirements to attend Library programs and everything is always 100% FREE.

For questions, please call the Library at 313-381-2425.

Thank you to the Allen Park Beautification Commission for awarding the Allen Park Library with a 2026 Beautification Award for our exterior landscape!🎍

All of the praise for our gardens👩‍🌾 & this award go out to Library Staffers Cindy & Master Gardener Monica. Without their vision and loads of hard work, our landscape would not be nearly as beautiful or well maintained.

Way to go ladies!🥳
