*NEW* Spring Book Sale Personal Shopping

This year, we’d like to be your personal shoppers for the annual book sale on April 27th! Fill out a form to tell us what kinds of books or DVDs you’d like to purchase, and the library staff will hand select them for you. Whether you can’t make it to the sale on April 27, don’t have a lot of time to browse the hundreds of books in the sale, or just like the element of surprise, we’re here for you!

Orders can be picked up the week before the sale during open hours (please give us 24 hours to put your order together) or during the book and plant sale. Payment is due when your order is picked up ($2.50 for each set of 10 books or $10 for 10 DVDs).

Click this link to be taken to the google form. We’ll also have paper copies at the library.

Annual Plant and Book Sale Coming Up!

Save the date: it’s time again for our Annual Plant and Book Sale! This is one of the library’s two big fundraisers for the year, and all money raised goes to this year’s summer reading program.

This year, we’ll have “personal shopping.” Fill out a form (online or on paper) with which categories of books you’d like and how many, and we’ll choose a selection of them for you ahead of time! Details to come.

Of course, we’ll also have a huge selection of books to browse for $0.25 each, DVDs, video games, and puzzles for $1 each, or a “fill a bag” option for $5, and plants! Garden fruits and veggies, annuals, perennials, succulents, and houseplants, all priced low and ready to go home with you or be gifted to someone special. And, if you have more of a black thumb than green, we’ll have crocheted plants as well….MUCH harder to kill those. You will definitely not want to miss this big event at the library!!

Library Giving Day

#LibraryGivingDay is a one-day fundraising event with the goal of encouraging people who depend on and enjoy public libraries to donate to their local library. And in turn, that support will go toward the programs, services and materials provided by local libraries all over the country.

This year, our goal at the Nortonville library is to raise $500 to help fund a new series of life skills classes/workshops for teens and young adults. Every little bit helps! You can donate directly to the library or use this link and choose “Nortonville Public Library” to make a credit or debit card donation to us. All donations made at the link come straight to us when you choose our library in the dropdown menu.
