NMPL OPENING LATE

1/12/2024

0 Comments

 
Due to the uncertain road conditions and to allow our staff time to safely get in, and for the parking lot to be cleared, the North Manchester Public Library will be opening late at 10:30am on Saturday, January 13th. The computers, playroom, and meeting rooms will open at 11:00am.

We will update patrons via our website, socials, and text alerts if there will be any further delays or changes.

As always we encourage you to check our website at www.nman.lib.in.us as well as our social media pages in case of updates. We will also send out text alerts to notify patrons of any library closures. Stay informed by signing up for Library Closures text alerts - just text the message @nmplclose (don't forget the @ sign!) to the number 81010 to sign up.

Please do not venture out to return due or overdue items while we are closed! NMPL is fine free and NO overdue fees will be charged.
​

Stay safe and stay warm North Manchester!

Stuck at home?
Remember you can download books, audiobooks, music, magazines, and more from the library! Download our free Hoopla & Libby e-library apps to get started!

Calling All Crafters!

1/12/2024

0 Comments

 
Are you a crafter who is running out of reasons to craft? Do you make incredible knitted creations, but have nothing to do with them? Do you paint gorgeous works of art but have no space left on your walls? If so, we just might have the perfect solution for you… donate to NMPL's Santa's Workshop event!

Santa's Workshop takes place once a year in November, and allows kids from the community to "purchase" gifts from NMPL for their loved ones. This is an AMAZING program for multiple reasons, but the main one is that EVERY CHILD, no matter what financial insecurity they may be facing, is able to "buy" gifts for the people they love. This means so much to these kids. Without this workshop, some children would have no other way of buying gifts.

Typically, NMPL staff members work all year long to create crafts, toys, and ornaments for the event, but we want to open it up to our amazing community.

This is the perfect opportunity to craft your heart out AND have an outlet for all your creations. Donations should be clean, neat, and from a pet-free/smoke free environment in order to be allergy friendly. All donations can be brought to the front desk.
​
Thank you for making a difference!
