To celebrate National Library Week, we asked how you find joy at the library. See what the community shared!

The theme of this year's National Library Week (April 19-25) is “Find Your Joy,” which highlights the valuable role libraries and library professionals play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities. To help us celebrate, we asked our community to tell us how they find joy at the library, and we received over 50 responses! Here are just some of the many different ways people are finding joy at Northbrook Public Library. 

We're excited to announce the new version of the Northbrook Public Library app, which makes it even easier to use library services on your smartphone, from searching the catalog and accessing your account to reserving a room and registering for programs. If you already have the app installed, it should appear as an update when it's available. (You will need to re-enter your login information.) If you haven't installed it yet, it’s available on the App Store or Google Play, or on our website at northbrook.info/app.

High school students who are interested in volunteering this summer are invited to apply to become a Summer High School Volunteer for the chance to gain some real-world experience, earn service hours, and have some fun while helping out at our award-winning library. Learn more.
