Manatee County Libraries to Close for MLK Day and Staff Development

All Manatee County library branches will be closed on Monday, January 20, in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and on Tuesday, January 21, for a scheduled Staff Development Day. Normal operating hours will resume at all branches, with the exception of the Central branch, on Wednesday, January 22.
