Calling all teens for the 2016 Summer Volunteen Program! If you’re entering 6th to 12th grade, the library would love to have you volunteer this summer to help keep the summer reading program running flawlessly! We ask volunteens to do 15 hours of service over the course of the summer. We're more than happy to schedule service hours around summer commitments, as long as you give us enough of a heads-up! Applications for the 2016 Summer Volunteen Program are at the front desk. Completed applications can be returned to Kate.
Children of all ages will enjoy reading, walking, moving, and having fun to two great outdoor books: Stella, Star of the Sea and Storm Whale. These great coastal stories will engage children as they walk along reading each upright sign outdoors.
Spring is a time of renewal and growth. After-school activities include lending a hand with conservation work, eco-splorations, journeying as a waterdrop from land to sea, uncovering secret tales, journaling, mapping/orienteering, and hiking our forest, wetlands, and mountainsides. For kids ages 9-11.
Spring Cleaning? Book Sale Donations Wanted!
What a great time to clean out your closet, bookshelves and more. The Friends of the Manchester Public library are actively working on the upcoming booksale (Saturday July 30th) and welcome your clean, usable book donations.
Please bring these to the library in one or two bags or boxes at a time, this lets the volunteer group keep up with the flow for sorting, pricing, and storing. Your help is much appreciated!
