Unearth a Story: MCL Summer Reading Program 2026
June 25, 2026
Summer Reading Staff Picks
July 23, 2026
On July 9, 2026, our neighbors on Main St. in Manchester suffered a structure fire that displaced three households. Please consider donating items for immediate relief, giving to the tenants’ GoFundMe campaigns, or signing up to help in another way. More information, relevant links, and other ways to support can be found on the dedicated webpage hosted by the Northshire Community Coalition, here.
There is currently a donation box in the MCL café for clothing, household goods, and personal items. Please see the list of wishlist items below.
We will be collecting items through Friday, July 31, 2026.
Thank you for supporting our neighbors and keeping our community strong!
