Toys for children and teens will be the latest addition to the materials that residents can borrow from the Mansfield Public Library starting in early fall. Thanks to generous funding from the Friends of the Mansfield Library and the nonprofit organization, Traveling Toys, Inc., library cardholders will soon be able to borrow toys that support developmental milestones in children. The Toy Library is expected to launch in mid-September and will include such popular items as Magnatiles, stacking toys, Duplos, Nintendo Switch games, Snap Circuits, and more!

“The Friends of the Mansfield Library are excited to contribute to the support of the Toy Library program,” says Anne Greineder, Board President.  “We know it will be a great addition to the library’s collection of non-traditional library materials to borrow.  We love that our library continues to grow in ways that contribute to a great sense of community spirit in our town.”

Our book sale from this past weekend raised $6,082! This was our first winter sale in a decade, and the the largest amount raised since 2019. The money raised at these sales goes towards the library’s funds for books, materials, programs, and services offered to our community. We could not have done this without the generous donations and tremendous turnout from our patrons, and the hard work and dedication of our members and volunteers. Thank you!

Thank you to all who helped set up, restock, cashier and clean up. Thanks especially to the Town Maintenance department for their book moving expertise. A special thank you to Boy Scout Troup 56 who help our clean up go so quickly and smoothly. A book sale requires a lot of effort from a lot of people and we are always appreciative of our workers.
