Come explore the library garden, then create your own fancy dipping oil with the very same herbs we grow here. Ages 8+

Want to make some dip, but don’t know what to do with your grown-ups? Send them to the NEA Big Read Film Screening: Food and Country.

Note: Per the Library’s Patron Conduct Policy, parents or guardians are responsible for the welfare and behavior of their minor children (under 18) in the Library or on Library grounds. Minors under 12 must be accompanied and supervised by a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult unless participating in a Library program. Minors aged 12 to 17 are permitted to use the Library unaccompanied by a parent or guardian. The Manchester Community Library assumes no responsibility for unattended minors in all circumstances.

This event has been made possible through a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Big Read. NEA Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. The goals of the NEA Big Read are to inspire meaningful conversations, celebrate local creativity, elevate a wide variety of voices and perspectives, and build stronger connections in each community.

MCL and MFFC’s NEA Big Read Project, “Building Hope and Connection Through Our Landscape,” focuses on bringing the people of the Northshire together at the intersection of nature and community.
