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.
