Summer Reading Program is always a success, but we thought we'd share the data with you! 📈

There were 407 participants this year, up nearly 20% from last summer's numbers! You'll see that the total number of finishers rose significantly, too. We are so proud of our young readers across the county! 💜

Due to the closure of some of our public exits for parking lot construction- the top floor of Manistee Main Library is currently closed.

Asphalt is currently being poured on the large parking lot off Poplar St. Concrete is being poured on handicap accessible parking spaces, the ramp and retaining wall off First Street.

The main floor and mezzanine remain open for public use. The Maple Street stairwell entrance remains open.

Please call 231-723-2519 to arrange curbside service or visit any of our other county branches. Follow us on Facebook or visit our website for more updates.

We were delighted to receive this sweet message and photo from a recent library visitor:

"We visited your wonderful library on vacation a few weeks ago. I wanted to share what we did with the Audubon bird prints you were giving away. I think it turned out great. Thank you for the prints and for all you do for the public!"

If you haven't visited Manistee Main lately, we have a variety of Audubon bird prints available on the third floor near the Birds of America book display case. Stop by and take a few favorites home!

Libby has added an exciting update!

Our library partners with other libraries throughout Michigan so that patrons can have an expanded digital collection.

Previously, you had to manually add each partner library to your account. Now, this step has been removed! Search for any book and Libby will automatically check to see if it's available at one of our partner libraries.
