The Manassas City Library celebrated its third anniversary on Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024, with a lively party attended by library staff, Manassas Mayor Michele Davis Younger, and councilmen Tom Osina and Mark Wolfe.
The celebration included a book sale organized by the Friends of Manassas City Library, which featured Manny the penguin, the library mascot.
During the event, Manny entertained partygoers by walking around, shaking hands, and taking photos. As the library enters its fourth year, the Friends of Manassas City Library has set a new goal to build a LEGO replica of Manny. The penguin mascot's library adventure began on the library's opening day, February 2, 2021, amid an ice storm.
