Grissom Library: Where should it be and what should it offer?
A study is currently underway to identify the site of the new Grissom Library. This survey is to make sure we understand what features are important to you in a new Library.  We will incorporate the results of this survey into the design of the new Grissom Library.  Take the Survey
Think we have the best display? Help us win $500!
We have a chance at winning $500 to purchase literacy backpacks to circulate at small daycares and preschools, but need your help! Visit our Facebook page to view photos of display.
Two Easy Steps To Help Us WIN:

  1. Go visit our window display (located to the left of the Daily Press, across from LOFT and Taste).
  2. Post a photo of our display on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram along with the hashtag #25NightsWindows (or email the photo along with "NNPL's display is the best!" to 25nightswindows@nnva.gov). Make sure your post's privacy setting is public so it gets counted.
