What We’re Reading

Gary Block started with the

Manistee County Library back in May of 2004 as a circulation clerk.

Gary stayed in this position for 10 years and in September of 2014, he became

the Branch Manager of Onekama Branch Library. Chances are, you’ve seen his smiling face before at Manistee or Onekama!

Gary has a knack for technology, saying “I also enjoy helping people with com-puter problems.”

Gary also enjoys working with patrons and said, “One of the things I love most about my job is meeting people from different walks of life and listening to the stories they have to tell.” Stop by and tell Gary your story!

Our is now open

for area youth.

We believe in alleviating the

challenges teens face,

and in putting all teens on the path

to successful and fulfilling lives.

It is our belief that

one of the best ways to do this is to let

teens know that they belong.

Whether it’s for homework, leisure,

or simply a way to connect to

peers and information,

we invite teens to stop and stay!
