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.

Teens who enjoy anime, manga, drawing, and games can hang out, learn about Japanese culture through media and see its influence on other cultures. Snacks included. 

Librarians will present an active storytime for children ages 3 and up, with books on the big screen, action rhymes, parachute time, and music. Storytime is great for helping children develop early literacy skills.

Saturday storytimes combine the best elements of all our storytimes to suit a wide range of ages so that the whole family can attend together. We will read stories, sing songs, learn rhymes and dance to music with shakers.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
