The Northfield Public Library Bookmobile and Bookbike are available to appear at community events in and around Northfield. Fill out the form below and we will get back to you about your request.

The Bookmobile has three schedules a year: 

Fall (September - December ); Winter/Spring (January - May);  Summer (June- August). 

The Bookbike is weather dependent and has one schedule a year:
Spring/Summer/Fall ( May- October)

When creating a Bookmobile schedule, we target areas to members of the community who are unable to use the main library due to geographic, transportation, economic or other barriers. Northfield Public Library Bookmobile stops, including stops at schools and other institutions are open to the public. 

Submitting a petition does not guarantee that your request will be granted. Petitions must be received by the following dates to be considered for the respective schedule:
