NORTH MANCHESTER PUBLIC LIBRARY

Mission Statement: The mission of the North Manchester Public Library is to provide materials, programs, and services necessary to meet the recreational and educational needs of the community in a comfortable and easily-accessible facility, which is a community center of activity and information.
Picture
The North Manchester Public Library serves the community of North Manchester, which has a population of approximately 5,277. The library district is the corporation limits of the town of North Manchester.
​
The North Manchester Public Library is proud to support a collection that includes books, magazines, microfilms, large print books, newspapers, selected government materials of local and historical interest, audiobooks, music, DVDs, databases, and more!
​
E-LIBRARIES
As much as we'd like to be open every time you want us, 24/7 service just isn't possible - or is it?  Our doors may not be always be open but you can still check out materials!  Need a soothing audiobook to battle 2am insomnia?  Want a way to occupy the kids on a sick day?  Looking for a soundtrack for your next workout?  We've got you covered!  NMPL offers Libby and Hoopla, two free e-libraries available for all patrons to access with their library card! 
​
CURBSIDE SERVICES
Our Curbside Service allows you to quickly pick up your reading, crafting, watching, exploring, and gaming resources.  Place your order, let us do all the work of gathering up your requests, and then stop by at a convenient time to pick them up from our outside bench.  It could NOT be easier and it's the perfect option for those days when you're just too busy to come inside and browse or are feeling a bit under the weather.  We're thrilled to serve you so try out Curbside today!
