May Flowers & Salmon Bake Next Month

Manchester, Washington

“First established in the 1860s and 1870s, logging, milling, agriculture and an extensive water transportation system have shaped the character of what was originally known to settlers as Brooklyn. This small waterfront community was renamed Manchester in 1892 after the active seaport in England, with hopes for the same prosperity. ”  … from Manchester Community Plan

The Friends of the Manchester Library (FOML) own the Manchester Library & Community Center acting for the community of Manchester. OUR MISSION is to encourage lifelong learning in the Manchester area. We do this by providing a library building, supporting library programs, and offering a community gathering place.

This FOML website provides links to our Newsletters, most Manchester Events, Photo Essays, and links to the other Manchester Village websites.

Please spend time getting to know the Manchester Village community, attend the MCAC, Port, Water District and FOML monthly meetings, browse the Library and Book Store, and  make sure to attend the events at Qa'Qad (aka Stormwater Park) and at the Library.

SUPPORT OUR LIBRARY:

The Friends of the Manchester Library are pleased to report that we hit our capital campaign goal for fundraising for the building addition. We appreciate all those who contributed to bringing our new spaces to reality!  As we move back to normal operations, we still appreciate your donations toward our regular operations.  Keeping the library heated, lighted, maintained, and supporting some of the programming will cost us about $24,000 this year.  Your on-going donations are sincerely appreciated. 

Pay with PayPal or a debit/credit card
