As if you needed another reason to visit the Novi Public Library, the Read-A-Latte Cafe has been upgraded and now proudly serves the full line of Starbucks products.

The cafe is now open at 7am Monday-Thursday and 9am Friday-Sunday. They serve Starbucks coffee and tea, as well as the various specialty drinks offered at a typical Starbucks location. Food options have also improved with lunch items like sandwiches, flatbread pizzas and soups that are all made to order.

The library itself opens at 10am Monday-Saturday and noon on Sunday.

We are just a couple weeks away from the Addicted to Movies, Not Drugs all-night movie marathon and tickets are nearly sold out.

Don't wait as tickets will not be sold at the door! Join us on Monday, Nov. 4 at Emagine Novi from 10pm-6am to watch four movies and enjoy popcorn, soda and pizza throughout the night.

The movies will be announced on the City's Facebook page about a week prior to the event. Buy your tickets in person at the Novi Civic Center or online here.

The leaves are already starting to fall so we wanted to offer up an early reminder that yard waste collection will end the week of Nov. 25.

Since that week includes Thanksgiving, yard waste pickup for residents on Thursday and Friday of that week will be one day later.

Place yard waste into a paper yard waste bag or reusable container no larger than 35 gallons. Yard waste placed in plastic bags will be left uncollected by Waste Management. Free, self adhesive yard waste stickers can be obtained from the Department of Public Works or the Novi Civic Center.

To see what is included in yard waste, visit cityofnovi.org.
