In-Person at the Senior Center, or Virtually via Zoom
Our lives are made up of stories. The Remembering Together program offers seniors a unique opportunity to share with one another some of their memorable life stories. These stories are often a source of encouragement, mutual appreciation, perspective, and a sense of connection. Of course, there are also times when a story gives everyone a good laugh.
Please join The Mental Health Center of Greater Manchester and the Manchester City Library for a conversational group at the Senior Center on Mondays at 10:30am, June 10 & 17, July 1 & 15, August 12 & 19. Virtual attendance is also available!
For questions, call Susan Harmon at 603-624-6550 x7620 or email [email protected]

On May 25, 1961 President John F. Kennedy said “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space” while addressing Congress. This goal was achieved on July 20, 1969 when Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon saying “…one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”.
Apollo 11 launched from Cape Kennedy on July 16, 1969, carrying Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin. This July is the 55th Anniversary of this historic mission. To celebrate this amazing achievement, the Manchester City Library has a display of books and DVDs in the Reading Room.
Check out these informative books!
You could also check out these films!
Stop by to see these and other materials on display in the Reading Room on the main floor. You can also view all the items on display in our catalog.

Manchester City Library invites you to join us on Wednesday July 31 at 6:30pm to learn the economic, environmental, and health benefits of eating locally!
Do you want to eat more New Hampshire grown, raised, fished, and produced foods, but are not sure where to start? Join the NH Food Alliance and agriculture producers and advocates from the Hillsborough County area to learn about the local food near you, how eating locally stimulates our state’s economy, and contributes to building climate resiliency and social equity in our communities.
The presentation will be led by Colleen Stewart, the Communications Coordinator for the New Hampshire Food Alliance.

She and guest speakers will share their thoughts and ideas, with ample opportunity for attendees to ask questions.

France is hosting the Olympic games this year, which kicks off at the end of July. There will be 206 nations competing, each with their own unique cuisines, some of which you can check out in our Taste of the Olympics display. See what’s on display in our library catalog. In France, bread, wine and cheese are staples; they are essential to the culture and traditions in French food. For the Japanese, rice is their staple food, and it is common for them to eat rice for every meal of the day. What is considered American cuisine? What comes to my mind is cheeseburgers and fries, apple pie and Thanksgiving turkey dinner. What do you consider American cuisine? Visit us at the library, and peruse a variety of cookbooks from many different nations. While you’re here, check out our Adult Summer Reading Program mission: Eat Around the World. Happy cooking, and Bon Appetit!
