Welcome Summer Camp Families!

Summer Camp 2025 Library Visit Set Up
We are pleased to welcome Camp Coyote and Camp Chipmunk campers to the library this summer. 

Here is how camp visits work:

  • Campers will visit the library each Thursday morning
  • Campers are allowed to check out a book during each visit
  • Campers must have their physical library card or have filled out the form below
  • Books are due in two weeks and may be returned during a camp visit or to any book drop
  • Please take a moment to review your child’s library account before they visit and return any outstanding materials

This summer we will also host a reading challenge for campers. If the group can read for 20 minutes for at least 30 days during summer camp they will earn a popsicle party from the library! Make sure they are ready to check out books so they can successfully complete the challenge!

Please complete the form below so that we can make camp visits as fun and efficient as possible!

If you don’t have a library card with us and live in Manhattan or Elwood, sign up for one at https://mpld.org/getacard. Anyone 3 and up may have their very own library card!

Don’t live in our library district? Call us at (815) 478-3987 or visit us to discuss your options!
