Ready to explore the shelves? Teens between the ages of 11-18 are invited to sign up for our new Shelf Care boxes from Saturday, November 1 through Saturday, November 15! These boxes will take you on an adventure through the Manitowoc Public Library YA stacks, introduce you to authors—both popular and unfamiliar—and maybe we'll even dive into the arcane knowledge hidden in the non-fiction section. Sign up here: www.manitowoclibrary.org/teen-book-boxes. October’s Theme—For the Aesthetic! Everybody has a hobby, a calling, a passion. Some paint, some dance, and some write. We can all add Art and Music to the world. Each themed box will contain three books, a snack, a toy or art project, and stationery to surprise and entertain. Boxes will be available on a first come, first served basis, while supplies last. All that needs to be returned is the box and the books to Manitowoc Public Library and you get to keep the goodies! Each month will be a new journey to meet your next favorite author. ***Please Note: The window to sign up ends on the 15th of each month. Boxes will become available on the first of the following month and must be picked up by the 8th of that month.

Help build a lifetime of reading enjoyment by giving the gift of reading!   Manitowoc Public Library is running our "Best Gift Ever" campaign to collect new children's books for local families in need. From November 3 through December 5, you can donate new, unwrapped books by placing them in the donation box near the First Floor Service Desk.   All book donations will be given to three local nonprofits for distribution over the holiday season: Incourage Lakeshore Foster Family and Friends Salvation Army of Manitowoc County All types of books are welcome—picture books, board books, chapter books, young adult books, anything you feel a child or teenager would enjoy reading!   You can also make a monetary donation that will go towards purchasing new children's books to be donated. For checks please make it to the "Friends of the Manitowoc Public Library," with "Best Gift Ever" in the notes line. Make sure monetary donations are submitted by November 24, so we can have the books ready for delivery in December.   Owning something as simple as a book can have a tremendous impact on a child’s self-esteem and help boost their spirits. We ask that you work with us to provide new children’s books to these needy kids. The benefits will last a lifetime.

Embark on the epic journey westward in Manitowoc Public Library’s Balkansy Community Room on Thursday, November 13, from 6-7:30 PM with a life-sized version of the computer game, Oregon Trail. Roll the dice for resources and try to ford rivers. It's dangerous to go alone, so players may be grouped into teams. And even though the journey is fraught with peril, snacks will be provided. Get in, loser, we're dying of dysentery! (Not really. The Library is not responsible for fictional death by rattlesnake, starvation, and other Wild West hazards)
