City patrons may check out up to twenty books at a time. Their loan period is two weeks. Children under the age of 16 must have a parent accompany them when they apply for a city library card. No school library cards may be used during the Wednesday evening and Saturday morning hours. Magazines and newspapers are purchased by the Northwood Public School and do not circulate.
Students needing copies for a school assignment are exempt from paying for copies.
The Northwood Public School has placed three Macintosh computers in the library. They are connected to the card catalog and to the Internet. During the school day student use takes precedence, but during the Wednesday evening and Saturday morning hours people who are not a part of the school environment are invited to use the computers and are given precedence. The library has many audiovisual items which it is willing to share with responsible patrons. Contact the school office or Mrs. Gunderson for more information.
