Databases. Now there’s a word to put the average person to sleep. However, I am here to convince you that it is, in point of fact, one of the most exciting words in the English language. You see, databases, when you’re talking about something you get from your library, is just a code word for […]
Tonight we would have hosted our monthly Family Board Game program at the library. Since we can’t have you in the library, one of our amazing librarians, Elizabeth, shares many ways you can play games at home (and she included a super cute photo of her cat). Some may say Board Games should be spelled […]
So, you’re trapped at home, I mean self-isolating, and you are desperate to figure out what to read next. Maybe you started a book that just didn’t work, or you went to the Ohio Digital Library and the book you wanted wasn’t available right now, or perhaps your ennui is making it impossible to pick […]
Tune in to see your favorite children’s department staff members reading, demonstrating STEAM experiments and more! Our staff misses seeing your kids during classroom visits and story times, and we’re committed to continuing to provide fun and educational content for them.

Let me start by saying that I could not be happier with the really wonderful amount of participation we had in our first ever entirely online round of #LibraryMadness. We had nearly as many votes as we typically have when the library is open, and the fact people are still passionately engaging with the library […]
With the confusion of the Primary Election that was to take place on March 17, Elizabeth, one of our awesome librarians pulled together some updated information to help. This information is provided by our Secretary of State, Frank LaRose. It has been updated on March 26, 2020 to reflect the new changes. – In-person voting […]
Just because the library building is closed, that doesn’t mean NCPL staff isn’t still hard at work. Just this past Friday, I bought 65 new ebooks and e-audiobooks for the Ohio Digital Library (which you might use on the Libby or OverDrive app). And as long as the library is closed and you can’t pick […]
The library has been closed since Tuesday, but that doesn’t mean #LibraryMadness can’t continue! We received a few in person votes, but for the most part folks got us their votes online, which I think we should keep doing for the final two rounds. So let’s do this thing, shall we? The classic Disney cartoon, […]
