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, Events, Photo Essays, and links to the other Manchester Village websites.

Please spend time getting to know the Manchester Village community, attend the Port and Water District 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.
