From our humble beginnings as a reading room possessing a mere 300 volumes in 1935, the Normal Public Library has developed into a vital and bustling community resource center with nearly 200,000 materials. As our library has grown, we have vastly expanded our collection to incorporate not only traditional printed materials but a wide variety of digital resources including e-books, audiobooks, MP3s, and more! Our mission is to serve as a gateway to knowledge for the Town of Normal, providing attentive service, diverse programming, and support in the pursuit of lifelong learning to patrons of all ages.

Our bookdrop at College Hills Mall has moved, but rest assured it has not moved too far! Our drop that previously sat in front of Target has moved to the parking lot across from Chico's, next to the dinosaur statue. This change was made due to safety reasons, as its previous location was in the way of the bus lane.

Congratulations, again, to NPL Code Club member, Noah!
Noah submitted his project to Fiero Code's Jurassic Code Challenge, competing alongside hundreds of students worldwide for a chance at some really neat techy prizes. Noah's digger-style arcade game won 2nd place in the 13-18 age group!

Fiero Code offers software that allows coders to learn at their own pace, and you can access it on the library's website for free with your Normal Public Library card. You can find Fiero Code on the library's website under Resources>All Learning Resources.

Might your kid be interested in Code Club? This program is for ages 10-14, and meets twice a month, including today 9/16 at 4 pm!

You can register online through our website calendar, or give us a call.
