Story Hour

Summer Library Program

1000 Books Before Kindergarten

Story Hour meets every Tuesday at 10:00 from October - April. Ages birth-5 years. An adult must attend with the child. We encourage early literacy by exploring weekly themes through books, crafts, and music. Click here for more information or to register.

Each summer the Manson Public Library provides programs for four age groups, Preschool, TK-2nd grade, 3rd-5th grade, & 6-12th grade. For four weeks we explore themes, related to the overall summer theme, through books, games, and crafts. This is one way to help stem the "summer slide" of students.

Manson Public Library was asked by MNW Preschool to take over the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program. Earn prizes for every 100 books read! Sign up at the library to receive your welcome letter & reading logs!
