Novi Public Library

Around NPL: Our Quiet Study Room is located in the middle of the 2nd floor, next to the Information Desk. This room is designed to be a quiet place for individuals to work, study or read on their own in a distraction-free environment. Learn more about the Quiet Study Room and other spaces available at NPL here: novilibrary.org/spaces.

Just as a kind reminder, Family Story Times scheduled for Saturday, are cancelled going forward due to low staffing. Thank you for your understanding. Please check our calendar, novilibrary.org/events, for other story time dates!

We are pleased to announce that NPL was the recipient of the 2026 Read Japan Project! We have 125 books about Japan that have been written by authoritative experts that have been evaluated by an International Panel. The books will be on display for the entire month of June. Some will be on top of the Adult International Collection and in the book display on the 2nd Floor and others will be a part of the Libraries are for Everyone display on the 1st Floor.

NPL is only the 2nd public library in Michigan to be awarded this honor. A huge thank you to Deputy Consul General Yamane for attending the unveiling ceremony and the Consul General's Office for nominating NPL!

The Read Japan Project is an international initiative dedicated to promoting a deeper understanding of Japan through books. The project is administered by the Tokyo Foundation with financial support from The Nippon Foundation. Together, these organizations work to foster global understanding by providing readers with access to high-quality materials about Japan’s history, culture, society, politics, literature, language, manga, business, and the arts.

We're thrilled to announce that NPL's 6th Read Box is now open at Sakura Novi! 🎉

Stop by to grab a few reads for the summer. When you're done, return them back to the Read Box or bring them to the Library! A special thank you to artist Claire, a 16 year old student from Cranbrook, who painted this beautiful new Read Box!
