Millaine & Lisa invited MPL's Tim to drop into Local 5 Live to chat about "5 Things" that people needed to know about, materials-wise, during Spooky Season. He dropped in with 4 amazing books (from young readers to adults) and 1 incredible DVD (probably best left to adults), while also managing to squeeze in a mention of Trunk or Treat & Spooktacular Costume Contest. Copy the link in the "Comments" to take a look at their terrifyingly fun conversation!

Truth is, especially during Spooky Season, the line between creepy and cute is indistinguisable. One such case would be the Tiny Terrors (Ages 5+) program, which just so happens to be taking place on a day that MPSD classes aren't in session. Youth Services Associate, Kirsten Smith created an article for Seehafer News to lay out all the gory details! Copy the link in the "Comments" to find out what Kirsten had to say!

This summer, teens got together for a library event making mini bookcases, then the adults caught wind and DEMANDED an event for them 🙄. We're mostly kidding on the "demand" part 😜, but we certainly received many enthusiastic comments asking for this to be offered to the 18 & older crowd. We were more than happy to oblige! Check out some pics from this last Thursday's event!

Cody J. Noha loved the Manitowoc Public Library. But when he died earlier this year at the age of 40, his mother and stepfather wanted to do something to honor him. Cody loved books and was an avid environmentalist, so his family chose to remember him by donating this bench—made of more than 35,000 recycled plastic bags—to our Youth Services department. We thank Cathy Keil and Mike Heier of Manitowoc for their generous donation in his memory.
