Friends of The Manteno Public Library

Friends of The Manteno Public Library Nonprofit The funds help to meet the needs of the library that could not be budgeted for otherwise. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month.

Friends of the Manteno Public Library is a non-profit organization that actively supports the Manteno Public Library, an important community asset, through fundraising, advocacy, volunteerism, public awareness campaigns, and literacy programs. We also host fun, entertaining, and educational community events throughout the year. Everyone is welcome to attend. If interested, please email [email protected] for the Zoom link.
