Manchester Community Library offers:
• A gathering place or “commons” for sharing news
and ideas, collaborating, and strengthening
community relationships
• A place of discovery and enjoyment, where children
are free to explore, create, and play
• A sanctuary for readers and learners of all ages
• An access point to computers and the Internet
“We built a 21st-century library that meets a
wide range of community and individual needs–
more akin to a vibrant community center than a
traditional library,” says Executive Director Betsy
Bleakie. She continues, “It is clear, with how we
are being utilized each day, that we have solidified
our role as a community asset that we all can be
proud of.” •

Historical Society
