During the month of May we had quite a few new faces join the Manteno Public Library Card Crew! We are always so excited to see a kid's face light up when they get their first library card! 📚✨

Libraries are so much more than just shelves of books; they are gateways to magic, imagination, and endless discovery. A library card is a child's passport to explore the universe, build big dreams, and foster a lifelong love for reading. We can’t wait to see where our newest members' adventures take them!

Join us and Beckie Green on Monday, June 1st at 9:30am for Senior Social Hour to talk about Manteno’s Best Kept Secret: The Manteno Wildlife Pollinator Initiative.

Discover a hidden gem right in our own backyard! Join local volunteer Beckie Green for an inspiring look at the Rock Creek Wildlife and Pollinator Area, a beautiful restored prairie and public park located on the eastern edge of the Rock Creek subdivision. Through a vibrant presentation filled with photos of native flowers and local wildlife, you’ll learn about the history of the site and how it is taken care of by a group of volunteers. Come see why this community treasure is one of Manteno’s most beautiful natural escapes!

With 16 years of experience as a Master Naturalist, Beckie Green is now in her fourth year stewarding the Rock Creek Wildlife & Pollinator Area. Before this, she spent 11 years as a steward at the Loda Cemetery Prairie Preserve. She and her husband have called Manteno home for almost six years.
