Did you know that you can use your library card through hoopladigital.com to check out children’s and adult audiobooks, music, movies, and ebooks?? Call the library or send us an email at directr@nortonvillelibrary.org if you need assistance setting up a free account!

I love getting book recommendations for my kids. Sometimes it’s just hard to get them to read if they’re not quite interested enough to choose something themselves or it feels too much like “homework”, and sometimes they’d rather just go straight to video games or whatever.

So, if you’re anything like me, and would love help finding your kids’ new favorite read, I’m here for you!

Send me a message on Facebook, call us during business hours at 913-886-2060, or send an email to director@nortonvillelibrary.org with your kids’ reading levels and interests, and I’ll “personal shop” the library for you! I’ll choose 4-5 books at a time for each child that I think they’ll love. If they do, fantastic! If they don’t, well it’s a free service and we’ll try, try again. We’ll even bring them out to the parking lot for you if you’d like curbside pickup.

We’re here for you at the Nortonville library!
~Greta Funk, director

We are open! The Nortonville Library is open during our regular business hours:

We are taking temperatures as patrons come in, and sanitizing computers and work spaces as patrons leave. Masks are available and encouraged.

We are in the process of obtaining new books, movies, and video games, and we have a LARGE selection of puzzles that can be checked out.

Stop by and see our new director, Greta Funk, and like our Facebook page for updates @nortonvillelibrary

We hope to see you soon!
