Have a kid that likes graphic novels? Check out our newest series!

HiLo is about a boy who fell from the sky. His newly made friends, Daniel and Gina, try to piece together where in the world (or somewhere beyond) HiLo came from. The problem? A bunch of crazy creatures showed up too! It's up to the trio save the earth and unlock HiLo's past. These books are action-packed and full of laughs.

This series is geared towards 8yr+, but my 4.5 year old gets a kick out of these books, too.

Check them out at the Newell Public Library next time you're in!

ATTENTION to any NVN families in need:

It was brought to our attention that we had toys that were donated to us through Newell Dollar General that were for any family in our community who needed some help providing gifts for their kids this Christmas.

Since we have been going through a transition period with staffing, we weren't aware of this until Friday afternoon. However, we currently have about a dozen toys wrapped and labeled by age range at the library.

We are unsure if there was a list of families that requested gifts or not since no information was found. We apologize for the lack of information and publication of this event.

If you requested to pick up gifts from the library, we will be open from 10am-12pm, 12:30pm-5pm on Monday, the 23rd.

Two sides of education differ on whether cuts to the state library budget are necessary or hurt students and teachers’ access to necessary materials.

If you care about your local library, you had better speak up now. The upcoming legislative session seeks to cut services you’ve come to count on. Make your voices heard to keep our libraries and services.

The Newell Public Library is in District 28 and our Senator is Sam Marty. You can contact him by:

Let's let him know that our library is not just about books, it's about serving our entire community and surrounding areas.

Before there was the movie, there was the musical. But before there was the musical, there was the book!

Wicked written by Gregory Maguire, tells the tale of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and how she came to be who she was in the Wizard of Oz.

Son of a Witch, also written by Maguire, follows Liir, a boy who may be Elphaba's son.

We also have the Wizard of Oz collection by L. Frank Baum, including The Road to Oz and Glinda of Oz.

Check them out in the Young Adult section today!

Just a reminder, we are open at 12pm today per our new Monday hours.

We will close at 5pm today for a library board meeting.

Thank you for understanding!
