Northfield Public Library

Northfield Public Library is a public library located in downtown Northfield, Minnesota, housing extensive book collections, periodicals, digital resources, and dedicated reading and study areas. The facility provides computer workstations, study rooms, and access to online databases to meet various research and information needs.

The library was founded in the late 1800s and has undergone several expansions over the decades as the community grew. These building additions show how the institution expanded to serve more residents and offer more resources.

The library serves as a gathering place where residents attend author readings, art exhibitions, and educational workshops throughout the year. These programs bring the community together around shared interests and learning.

The library offers free internet access and public computers for visitors who need to work or research. Study rooms are available for those who prefer a quieter, more focused environment away from the main reading areas.

The library runs a LEGO Robotics program where children can check out specialized building kits for hands-on technology learning. This approach makes complex concepts accessible to young learners and turns technical building into an engaging activity.
