Manvel Library

Blink and you just might miss it.
I think Manvel Branch library might just be the smallest library I’ve ever seen. Going east on Hwy 6, it’s tucked in a tiny strip mall (if you can call it that).
My husband and I went there to get our library cards so we could check out books for our Kindles. The process was simple: just fill out a form, show some ID, and you get your card. The librarian told us how to use it and how to access the library’s online selection of Kindle books. All told it took less than 10 minutes.
I can’t vouch for their selection of physical books, because I’ve never checked out an actual book, but I can say that their Kindle book selection is pretty good. It’s kind of nice because Manvel is really small and if you want a new release, you can usually get it right away, unlike some friends in large cities who have to wait a long time on a waiting list.
I’m a fan on facebook so I get updated every so often. It sounds like they have a storytelling time for kids and maybe even some craft days, too. Books are so important for kids so I think it’s great that they have these resources, even if they are so small.
It’s nice to have a library so close, but just keep your eyes peeled when you’re looking for it. It’s that small.
