Who Are We?
The Friends and Foundation of the Northfield Public Library (FFNPL) is a non-profit, community-based organization since 1983 that supports the Northfield Public Library. In cooperation with the Northfield Public Library, FFNPL supports early literacy programs, recruits volunteers, provides support for equipment in the Library such as computers and eBook readers, and organizes special events including fundraising trivia bees, concerts, speakers and book readings.
The Friends are delighted to award three $1000 scholarships to Northfield High graduates who have volunteered with the Northfield Public Library. From left: Rihanna Gonzalez Sandoval, FFNPL representative Bridget Draxler, Nora Becken, Natalie Draper, and Will Flannery
In summer of 2024, the Northfield Public Library, in collaboration with community partners, piloted an inclusive internship program to expand opportunities for individuals from historically underrepresented groups. Four interns gained work experience in the main library and the Library Oasis at the NCRC. They were able to experience all dimensions of librarianship, develop a program of their own, and explore library career possibilities.
Here are some scenes from the summer:

SUPPORT
We welcome your donations and membership in FFNPL and your support of the work we do for the benefit of our library.
Book bags for sale at the library. Besides being perfect for carrying library books and other media, they are great for shopping, travel and, in a pinch, laundry. AND, they tell the world about our beautiful library! If you forget this bag when you go to the library, look for the Boomerang Bags, reusable, returnable cloth book bags.
