Want to Help? 

Here are a few ways that you can help support the Manchester Library...

•  Get Familiar with our Terrific Little Library!

  • We think we have a fantastic little Library that’s one of Kitsap County’s best little secrets. 

  • We also have some of KRL’s finest Librarians and they know the Library’s resources inside-out.  The Library staff are all pretty knowledgeable about the Friends’ activities too, and will be glad to put you in contact with us. 

• Become a Member of the Friends

  • Just show up at one of our meetings and we’ll make you feel right at home!  We typically meet in the Library Meeting Room on the fourth Wednesday of the month. 

  • For further information contact any of the Friends officers or the President, John Winslow at johnwinslo@aol.com. 

•  Volunteer to Help at a Special Event

  • See our list of special events.  Anything look particularly fun??  Just let us know by contacting the event coordinator, or the Friends President at johnwinslo@aol.com, we’ll put you to work! 

  • We can always use help with displaying donated books in the bookstore, or arms and legs at the sales and other events.

•  Donate Gently Used Books

  • See the Bookstore section for more details.

•  Donate Plants for our Annual Plant Sale

  • The Library staff can put you in touch with our Plant Sale manager (Ron Rada) who is always looking for great plant donations for our big annual sale. 

  • If you can hold the plants in tip-top condition until the Friday before the sale, which is held on the Third Saturday of April, we have a crew available to accept the plants that Friday afternoon at the Library. 

  • This is always a lot of fun and a success for the Library!!

• Donate through the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) - for Federal Employees  

  • FOML is a new member agency in the Combined Federal Campaign. To designate FOML for your payroll contributions, use # 75235.
    

• Help with the Gardening!

  • During gardening season volunteers from the Long Lake Garden Club and the Manchester community work together to weed and trim the library's gardens. Every "second Friday", April through October, people gather for an hour's work starting at 9:30. If you own a trowel, come help keep the gardens looking nice.
