Manchester City Library
There’s something so enticing about a profession where people are the absolute best at what they do. The best assassins are not just deadly weapons, but also masters of disguise, improvisation, and slight-of-hand. Their world is brutal and beautiful, and only the very best survive. Their stories are rich, tragic, and compelling, as are the moral choices they face during every job.
Take a look at this month’s Fantasy book recommendations for stories about these versatile ki**ers for hire!

New seeds just dropped!
Thanks to a generous donation from Lowes, we have new seeds in the Seed Library! As we process these donations into smaller envelopes, we’ll be re-stocking the Seed Library weekly!
Did you buy seeds this year, but had some leftover? Why not donate them to the seed library? We’re always looking for more donations! For more information, visit https://www.manchester.lib.nh.us/Find/Seed-Lending-Library

Did you know that today is National Pet Day? A recent survey conducted by PetMD (Chewy), The 8 Most Popular Pets in 2023, found that most Americans–not surprisingly–favor dogs and cats, with dogs edging out cats 65.1% to 46.5%. A distant third place goes to freshwater fish, coming in at 11.1%. What about you? Are you more of a dog person or a cat person? Or something else? Myself, I love dogs. I thought it would be fun to create a Periodic Table of Dogs and Cats, following the same idea as the Periodic Table of Elements in chemistry. Like the original table there are rows and columns, with categories like popular names, smartest breeds, fictional dogs and cats from children’s books, comics/cartoons and Disney, National Dog Show Groups and different breeds. Come check out our National Pet Day display at the library, and see if your dog or cat breed is the smartest or has a popular name. Did your favorite fictionalized furry friend make it on the table, come find out? We hope to see you soon.

The Manchester City Library encourages everyone in the community to visit the library to take part in all the library has to offer.
Libraries give us a green light to experience something truly special: a place to connect with others, learn new skills, and pursue our passions through book clubs, children’s story times, teen movie nights, adult DIY crafts, music events and more. Your library offers a wide array physical and electronic materials, educational programs, and research resources for adults and children at two locations.
Libraries play a pivotal role in economic development by providing resources and support for job seekers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. Your library supports Manchester with services such as toddler story times, computer classes, tutoring, teen activities, writer’s clubs and much more. See our calendar for a full list of library activities.
No matter where you find yourself on the roadmap through life’s journey—preparing for a new career, launching a business, raising a family, or settling into retirement the library offers the resources and support you need and an inclusive and supportive community where you will feel welcome.
So, get ready to explore, become inspired, and connect with others this National Library Week. Your library is there for you, all the way to the finish line.
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries of all types across the country each April. #NationalLibraryWeek

Ever wonder what it’s like to make a photographic print without a camera? To make a handmade, colorful and vibrant print of your own? Well, look no further! This project will show you how to create beautiful cyanotype prints, which are blue-toned prints created with the power of the sun! Traditionally and most simply, the process is performed outside using sunlight. This technique is a beginner-friendly one and comes with an easy step by step process. These kits come with everything you will need to make your own gorgeous sun-prints. These kits are intended for adults and will be available on Tuesday, April 9th, in the Library Rotunda while supplies last.
For more information, please contact Yvonne at [email protected] or call the Information Desk at 603-624-6550 ext. 7620.
Happy crafting!
