The News Project – Circus Comes to Town: Family Fun Day at MCL

Manchester Community Library celebrated Take Your Child to the Library Day by transforming the space into a lively circus-themed community event, and we tagged along to see what was happening. Families enjoyed carnival games, free treats, a live acrobat performance, and student rock bands from Maple Street School, all designed to make the library a place of fun, creativity, and discovery.

The annual celebration encourages families to explore everything the library offers beyond books, highlighting it as a welcoming local hub for learning, connection, and hands-on experiences for kids and caregivers alike.

We stopped in to capture how the day brought the community together and showcased the many ways libraries continue to serve as active, engaging spaces for local families.
