The Northville District Library joins libraries in communities nationwide in celebrating the dynamic changes that are happening in today’s libraries. April 10-16 is National Library Week, a time to highlight the changing role of libraries.

Libraries today are more about what they do, for and with library users as opposed to what they have for patrons. Libraries aren’t only a place of quiet study, but also creative and engaging community centers where people can meet to collaborate on group projects, learn new technologies, research their family tree, or just relax.

The Northville District Library is evolving to meet the needs of the communities they serve. The library is adding more and more digital items – downloadable eBooks, eMagazines, eMusic – than ever before, making the library truly a 24/7 experience.

“Our newest addition is a popular online resource called Gale Courses. You can register for any of hundreds of online courses, from computer skills to graphic arts to grant writing to test prep to accounting. The courses are taught by expert instructors and run for six weeks, and are free to anyone with a Northville District Library card, “ said Julie Herrin, Library Director. “We have also added an ESL (English as a Second Language) conversation group, which is held every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. at The Next Chapter Bookstore located in downtown Northville.”

“Service to the community has always been the focus of the library,” Herrin continued. “Libraries level the playing field for people of any age who are seeking information and access to technologies that will improve their quality of life. We continue to offer our weekly Tech Help with a library staff member to those needing one-on-one assistance with their tablets, eReaders or computer.”

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April.
