MANITOWOC - Winter is coming: dark nights, cold weather and lots of gray. But just because the loveliness of summer is over doesn’t mean that the fun stops at Manitowoc Public Library! Our incredibly popular Family Activity Nights continue every Tuesday evening throughout the year and into the next!

Family Activity Nights are on Tuesday nights at 6:30, and are a perfect opportunity for working parents to join their children (activities are geared toward children ages 2-10; however, older/younger siblings are always welcome!) in a variety of fun activities, crafts, games and more.

Each Family Activity Night lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, and every week presents something new and fun for the whole family! We try to provide a variety of activities for families to learn, play and have fun together each week. In the fall, some favorite Family Activity Nights included our indoor Drive-In Movies, Police Officer Storytime, and our first-ever community Trunk or Treat this past October!

And this winter is looking every bit as fun as fall with an adoption party with Lakeshore Humane Society’s Kitty Party, Family Cooking Class, a BINGO night and more! We are also excited to be partnering to bring certified therapy dogs to the library every second Tuesday of the month throughout the school year. Bring a book and prepare to cuddle with a pup on the second Tuesday of each month when families will get to read to certified therapy dogs. Studies show that reading out loud to therapy dogs soothes any anxiety children might have about reading out loud and promotes reading confidence — and you get the spend time with some certified adorable animals!

Check out our spectacular winter line-up of Family Activity Nights. You are sure to find something perfect for your family!
