Home Delivery Service

Normal Public Library provides free library services to residents who find it difficult to leave their homes without assistance. This can be because of age, illness, accident, disability, or any other reason keeping you from visiting the library. If you are interested in receiving home delivery service on a temporary or permanent basis, please call 309-452-1757 or fill out the form below.

We are happy to deliver to you if it is difficult for you to get to us! Request service here.

Pop Up NPL

We bring books, movies, and even tech toys out to various places in the community to make it easier for you to connect with NPL. We can make you a library card, renew an existing account, check out materials, and answer any questions you may have about the library.

Books on the Go

Books On the Go (BOTG) is a service that provides free books to the community with no strings attached. We stock each BOTG location with books for all ages. There is no expectation that these items be returned to NPL.

Currently, we support BOTG collections at Uptown Station, School Street Food Pantry, Carle Cancer Center, and Behavioral Health and Addiction Recovery Units at Carle-Bromenn.

Deposit Collections

The Normal Public Library maintains collections at nursing homes and retirement facilities upon request.

Our staff select materials that residents will enjoy and deliver books regularly so there is always something new.
