Another Successful Community Read... 
...thanks to our sponsors:  Friends of the Novi Public Library, Barnes and Noble, Sheraton Novi, and the Neighborhood Library Association (NLA).  This year's Community Read of "The Art of Racing in the Rain" resulted in 1,087 checkouts of the title in a 12-week period, a packed house at the Novi Library for a very special Author Event with Garth Stein on November 10, and a fantastic turn-out for a variety of related programs at the five NLA libraries.  We were extremely pleased by the response from our community and are in the beginning stages of planning for next year's event!  Please contact us with any feedback that we can incorporate into future Community Read events. 
Library Winter Tree
Celebrate the Holidays!
Enjoy the Library's new winter tree on the 1st floor near the fireplace lounge.  Our sincere thanks to Theresa Coloske of Just Gardens for the Holidays, who donated her time and talent to beautifully decorate the tree.
