The library is a place for books and reading – and so much more. Literacy, whether traditional or digital, involves the development of essential foundational skills, fostering a love of stories, creating a base for understanding, and mastery of skills. Literacy changes lives.
NPL provides for individuals throughout their lives at every age and stage. Technology, language, wellness classes, teen after-school initiatives, professional development, resources for jobseekers, and connections to social services help patrons learn, expand their horizons, and reach their goals.
NPL is a community gathering place that connects individuals, not only to the ideas, knowledge, and resources they seek, but to each other and our shared heritage. Through special collections, archives, concerts, art shows, author events, and more, NPL is an essential community-builder.
