Month Calendar

Join Manhattan Public Library’s Winter Reading Challenge to light up your mind this season.

Join us in creating a journal with your favorite place in the world in mind. We will be covering journals with maps and adding a clasping strap. Use it to keep your memories of vacations, or your daily journal, or even a gratitude journal.

Let's build together! K-5th graders will build a new structure each week using the library's Legos and their imagination. Lego Club meets on the 1st & 3rd Fridays, Jan. 3 - April 18.

New to technology? Have a question about your phone or device? A librarian will be on site to help older adults with questions about their computers, tablets and phones. Meet at the Manhattan Senior Center, 301 North 4th Street.

Bring your little one to the library for some social interaction and fun. Toddler toys will be in the Storytime Room during this informal program where caregivers can also chat and get to know each other. Suggested for ages 0-2 with caregivers.

Learn technology basics in this three-part course designed to help folks re-entering the workforce. Start your digital adventure! Meet in the library's Collaboration Space on the first floor.

Join us for informal evenings of chess. Volunteers will be available to help players of all levels learn chess basics and try different strategies. Chess Night is more social than competitive, so plan to have fun and make new friends.

Milford Nature Center will present live animals and various animal artifacts that will introduce audiences to some native prairie wildlife and their favorite habitat.

Stay pawsitive about reading! Read to a friendly therapy dog who loves kids and books. This is a fun way to practice reading aloud, and a great stress reducer if you love cute canines.

New year, new hobbies! Teens, join us for an introduction to journaling and learn the basics! Try out different techniques, get help with writer's block, and discover your own flow of self-expression.
