Message from our director

Welcome to the North Branch Township Library's Website!  As the Director of the library my goal is to oversee and provide access to information, services, activities, materials, and other resources to meet the needs of our users.  Please take a moment to look around our website to see what our library can offer you.

The NBTL is now wireless.  You are welcome to come into the library during how operating hours and access the wireless on your portable devices; such as laptops, e-readers, ipods...   Just stop at our circulation desk to ask how to sign in.

We are also pleased to announce that NBTL now offers the ability for patrons to download library books to their e-reader devices.  This is a free service to our patrons.  Ask one of our librarians how to access these books, or click on the Overdrive icon on our website's home page for more information.

Here are some other ways you can use our website;

Access our online catalog

Inter-loan Library books through our shared catalog and through the mel.org catalog
