Reference and information services for adults and children

Membership Types:

Resident:

Complimentary “Resident” memberships are available to:

All property owners and long term renters in Manchester, VT (this includes business owners!)
Students, Faculty, & Staff at Manchester schools
All military veterans

All those who would qualify for Resident memberships are welcome to fill out our online application form, but proof of residency, attendance, or veteran status will need to be provided in person at the Library Help Desk before the membership can be activated. You will receive a confirmation email with your membership information, but may not begin using your Library membership until you have come to the Help Desk with your document(s).

Non-Resident:

Non-Resident memberships are available to our out-of-town friends for $89 per household, per year. Online application and payment can be completed via the “Application” tab to the right. You will receive a confirmation email with your membership information when your Library card is ready to use.

Lost Your Library Card?

No worries, it happens! Your first replacement card is free. You will be charged a $5 fee for each replacement card after the first.

BUT…

You don’t need your physical card! If you know your library card number, you can still access all of the resources the MCL has to offer, both physical and digital. Visit the MCL Help Desk for assistance in setting up your digital library space.
