Library Dedicates Children’s Discovery Patio When Joyce Sands, executive director of the Manheim Township Public Library (MTPL), talks about the Children’s Discovery Patio, that officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 22, the excitement in her voice is unmistakable. “Youth services always expressed a desire to hold programs out here, but (the patio) wasn’t fenced in,” explained Sands, who noted that at the edge of the patio, there is a significant drop to the lawn below.
