Happy National Library Week!
This week, we celebrate libraries and all the ways the libraries serve their communities. The theme for 2024 is Ready, Set, Library!
National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature and Newbery and Pura Belpré-award winning author Meg Medina and 2024 National Library Week Honorary Chair shares, “I’m thrilled to serve as the honorary chair of National Library Week for 2024! Libraries connect our communities and enrich our lives in ways we may not realize, and one of my greatest pleasures is discovering the unexpected and beautiful things libraries offer. From book groups to lending sports equipment to providing a safe after-school hangout space and so much more, libraries support us wherever we find ourselves on the roadmap through life’s journey. Join me and the American Library Association in celebrating the gift of libraries everywhere and the adventures and opportunities they unlock for us every day." HOW CAN YOU CELEBRATE? 1. Visit the library. National Library Week is the perfect time to visit NMPL! Bring the kids or invite your friends. Meet the librarians.

NOW HIRING: Bookkeeper/Office Assistant Position Posting - North Manchester Public Library, North Manchester, IN  The North Manchester Public Library seeks a part time bookkeeper who enjoys working in a fast paced team-oriented environment.

Qualifications:
Application: Submit a resume and a cover letter to Eileen Sklar, Library Board President, North Manchester Public Library, 405 North Market Street, North Manchester, IN 46962 or via email at [email protected]
NMPL will host an Open House on Wednesday, February 7th from 4pm to 6pm to help introduce the new library Director to the North Manchester community. Patrons are invited to stop by the library for refreshments and an opportunity to meet Andrea.
Please join the Board of Directors and staff in congratulating Andrea Zwiebel on her new position and welcoming her as the North Manchester Public Library Director. Per state standards, the cost of a non-resident library card at the North Manchester Public Library will increase beginning March 1st, 2023. Current Fees for Non-resident Cards (beginning March 1st, 2023): One Year Library Card — $102.00 Six Month Library Card - $51.00 Three Month Library Card - $25.50 As a public library in the State of Indiana, NMPL receives funding through property taxes paid within the North Manchester city limits. Those who live or own property inside the taxing district pay for a library card whether they ever register for one or not. However, with non-resident cards, the choice to purchase a library card is in the patron’s hands. Non-resident fees are dictated by the State, reviewed annually by the library board, and kept as low as possible. “We understand if $102 for a library card seems expensive,” says Diane Randall, Library Director. “But remember that a library card provides so much educational, entertainment, and leisure value through access to the tens of thousands of items in our collection that includes books, magazines, microfilms, large print books, newspapers, selected government materials of local and historical interest, audiobooks, music, DVDs, databases, and more. In addition to all of these resources, a library card also enables access to NMPL’s two wonderful e-libraries (Libby and Hoopla), and allows patrons to check out items from our Homeschool-2-Go and Sensory-2-Go centers.” Patrons interested in signing up for a library card can do so by visiting the library with proof of address, such as a recent piece of mail, utility bill or current driver's license.  |
