Novi Public Library

Banned Books Week is here, and we're celebrating the freedom to read! 📚✨ Stop by to check out our special display featuring banned and challenged books read by our staff and Board members, and help defend the right to read for everyone.

🎶 Join us for Street Sounds at Fountain Walk: Encore, on Friday, October 9 from 7-9pm, one final concert before the winter chill sets in! Gather your friends, grab your lawn chairs and spend an unforgettable evening with us enjoying great 80's music!

Presented in partnership by Twelve Mile Crossing at Fountain Walk and the Friends of Novi Library.
