Month Calendar

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

Try our StoryWalk® Indoors featuring Be a King by Carole Boston Weatherford. The story is inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and it encourages readers to "be a king" as we strive to make the world a better place.

You can be a "King"! Celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day at the library with us. We will read Be a King by Carole Boston Weatherford, listen to parts of a speech, and talk about what it means to us.

On Tuesday afternoons we will have fun options for teens in the Teen Zone including special crafts, board games, or just time to chat with one of our librarians. What would you like to do?

Hey, you. The one in the corner reading. Would you like to feel a little bit social, but without the awkwardness of small talk? This is the book club for you! 

This storytime is active and fun for young children. A librarian will read 2-3 stories aloud. Caregivers participate with their children as we sing songs, do action rhymes, listen to stories and have music time.

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.

Caregivers sit with their little ones to sing, clap, and play along with rhymes, read a short book together, and have shaker music time. Learn a new word in baby sign language each week.

This storytime is active and fun for young children. Caregivers participate with their children as we sing songs, do action rhymes, listen to stories, and have music time. The target age for this storytime is children 18 months old and up.
