Manchester is renewing its library system with a five-year capital investment program. This includes rebuilding and remodeling all 22 community libraries with innovative co-location strategies. Phase 1 is complete with four new libraries co-located with colleges, learning centers, and a children's center. Phase 2 includes three more new libraries under construction co-located with youth centers and new academy schools. Phase 3 will refurbish the Central Library and create a new Archive Center and City Library. The renewal focuses on new technologies, extended hours, and tiered services across the system.
