Join us on Monday, February 27th, at 3:00 PM in the West Branch Meeting Room as we screen this very funny family cartoon. Eager to have a younger sibling, a lonely kid (voiced by Anton Starkman) beseeches the storks to deliver a baby to his workaholic parents — despite the fact that the birds have long since gotten out of the baby business, and now courier packages for an Internet merchant. But the discovery of an infant in the warehouse inventory forces the delivery service’s recently promoted stork owner (Andy Samberg) to deliver one last bundle of joy. Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Aniston, Ty Burrell, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, and Danny Trejo also lend their voices to this animated comedy. For more information please call 624-6560.

We are sorry for the inconvenience to our patrons.Children, City Library, Main Branch, News, Teens, Trustees, West Branch The City’s Health Department has partnered with the Southern NH Planning Commission (SNHPC), AARP and the Tufts Health Foundation to explore how the greater Manchester area can become more “Age-Friendly”.
The Library fully supports this initiative and wants to make sure the libraries also meet the needs of our various residents so the results of this study will be important to us. The Commission will be working with all our communities by creating vibrant stakeholder groups to steer our region towards becoming age-friendly. What does this mean? SNHPC will engage interested communities, agencies, and other stakeholders on a regional effort to understand what it is to become an Age-Friendly community. Our efforts will focus on the region’s senior population as well as Millennials to identify and explore synergies. It is our goal that through this project, the Commission and stakeholder team will create awareness within SNHPC’s communities on its assets, opportunities, and roadblocks for Becoming Age-Friendly. As one outcome of this work, we hope to form a Manchester Resident Advisory Council to continue to guide our ongoing collective planning efforts. The SNHPC is asking for resident input through the completion of the attached survey.
