Browser Pack

Library Closings This Week

NPL will close at 5 pm on Tuesday, December 31 and remain closed on Wednesday, January 1. We will reopen on Thursday, January 2 at 9 am.

A Browser Pack is a collection of up to 30 items, curated by library staff.

Patrons with a Normal Public Library card, or a Bloomington Public Library card registered at the Normal Public Library, may request one Browser Pack every two weeks. Library cards must be in good standing.

Browser Packs contain up to 30 items total. The number of items in each Browser Pack is dependent on subject availability and the discretion of library staff. You may request items for up to 4 readers.

*New* For each reader, you can select if you'd like a list of titles emailed to you or have the items checked out.

Materials will be checked out using the patron’s personal library card. You will be contacted when your materials are ready for pickup.

Please note that we don't track items included in previous Browser Packs. 

If you know exactly which title(s) you want, place a hold through our catalog, rather than using this form. Thank you!
