Manchester City Library

Our local libraries are SUCH a resource. This one especially is beautiful and the staff are all so friendly. I really enjoy reading at one of the many sitting areas they have. They also serve as a warming station for homeless individuals at certain times. Also you can rent art from this library! They have a book club too

Impressive! The architecture is something to see on the second floor. Is that marble stairs? The library is well maintained and stocked with books, DVDS, audiobooks and 📰 newspapers. Multiple computers available. There are three floors. The bottom is for kids, the second has the computers and the top 🔝 I didn't visit but, yes, more 📚 books. Parking 🅿️ lot was small. Very friendly and helpful staff! Worth a visit!

I can’t get past how inconvenient the move to charging lockers over allowing people to use the outlets is. After driving around the block over and over to get a parking spot in the laughably small parking lot, I only had an hour left to get some work done, just to find that my laptop needed to charge and that meant I wouldn’t be able to get any work done because you can no longer plug in devices while you use them. What a waste of a library trip.

I think this is a well-stocked library for kids and for their parents. Downstairs is a gigantic kida library, complete with a play area (puzzles and blocks), comfy couches to sit on, computers that four-year-olds and up can learn on, lots of cool stuff. There's a toy lending library and take-home craft kits. Upstairs the thing I use the most is the seed library. There's lots of people in the community donating collected seeds for year-round flowers and vegetables. I've planted lots in my garden and yards outside; my whole zinnia and cosmos plantings came from these seeds this year. Anyways, I love this library.

The library has that historic sophisticated feel. I could see an old English statesmen or dark poet in the early 1900's roaming the halls. Good job New Hampshire!
