MASKS REQUIRED INSIDE THE LIBRARY

11/30/2021

0 Comments

 
Beginning Wednesday, December 1st, properly worn face masks are required inside the library.
Due to the county Covid metrics moving to "red status", the North Manchester Public Library will resume requiring the use of properly worn face masks while in the library, or while attending any in-building event. This requirement will last until the county metric returns to orange.

The library staff will increase sanitation measures for materials and the facility. The use of masks, hand sanitizers, and social distancing practices are still recommended. If you do not have a mask, a free one one will be provided for you at the front desk.

If you are uncomfortable coming into the library for any reason, we encourage you to use our curbside service or Libby, our free e-library.

HAPPY GIVING TUESDAY!
We're wishing for a holiday season full of love, joy, and happiness for each and every one of you! But we also are wishing just a LITTLE bit for a few supplies! These supplies will not only help us continue to host amazing programs and make incredible take-home kits for you all to enjoy, but they will also be used for special library fundraisers and in-house needs!

This Giving Tuesday we're asking our wonderful community to consider purchasing items for NMPL from our Amazon Wish List! If you'd like to support NMPL this year, please feel free to shop for us from this list - every little bit helps! https://buff.ly/3DkjyXo

Savvy shopper, able to find the items we need elsewhere? Feel free!
​
We can't thank you all enough for your incredible support. We are SO glad we get to be your library North Manchester!

​Noted Indiana poet Chantel Massey will present a virtual evening of poetry reading and conversation. The appearance is made possible through the support of an Indiana Authors Award grant, administered by Indiana Humanities. The virtual event, which begins at 6 p.m., is open to the public, free of charge.
ZOOM LINK: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89073492253
Massey is on a lifelong mission to inspire curiosity, celebration, creativity and challenge how we engage with the world. Her work advocates for human rights and social justice. She explores these issues with a confessional and emotional honesty through Blackness, womanhood, identity, memory and familial relationships.
She published her first collection of poetry, “Bursting at the Seams,” in 2018. The work earned a 2020 nomination for the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Author Awards, which recognizes the Hoosier State’s top emerging authors. She was also a nominee for a 2019 Best of the Net Award, an annual online anthology curated and hosted by Sundress Publications to honor the best online writing.
