Library Mission Statement
What ARE we here for??
In case you were wondering! -
The mission of the Northborough Free Library is to provide its customers with a selection of printed, recorded, or electronic materials for all ages. Materials are purchased for recreation, independent learning, and vocational and educational support. In addition, the library provides access to materials and information in other libraries or organizations, and from remote electronic databases. The library also serves as a center of community activity, with programs for preschoolers to the elderly; a meeting place for civic, cultural, social, and other non-profit organizations; and a distribution point for local information.

Take Part in our
Leap Year Reading Challenge
(Please note that this
is an online only event.)
The end of January marks the half way point for our Leap Year Challenge!!
This challenge is similar to our Summer Reading program but is for the winter months. Participants will be logging the number of pages they read each time they read a book! Beginning in March stop by the Children's Room and pick up a new book for participating. Additional winners will also be picked for some fun prizes! For ages birth to 5th grade. The program will run from January 1st to February 29th (Leap Day)! Note that this is an online event. You do not need to come to the library to sign up.
Contact the Children's Room Staff with any questions!
Audiobook warning:
For people with multi-disc players, occasionally a library CD will get stuck. This is true, mostly, for multi-cd players installed in cars. Please play at your own risk. Thank you!
As a parent, the choice is up to you!
The children's collection now contains over 50 video games for the Wii and DS systems.
All our games are rated E for Everyone or E10+ which means the game is recommended for kids ages 10 and up.
Of course, every child, and every family is different and although librarians can offer their suggestions, it is ultimately up to you whether or not material is appropriate for your household!
Keep an eye out for new games coming often!
