📖 About Novi Public Library
Novi Public Library opened as an independent public library serving the City of Novi, a thriving Oakland County community roughly 25 miles northwest of Detroit. The library belongs to the Traverse des Lacs Library Cooperative and the statewide MeLCat network, giving cardholders access to the collections of hundreds of Michigan libraries. A landmark renovation added the iCube Makerspace — a community innovation lab offering 3D printing (including 3D-printed assistive devices), access technology, and studio equipment across three equipment tiers — plus a library café. The library is fine-free and offers the Michigan Activity Pass program, letting cardholders reserve free or discounted admission to state parks, museums, and cultural attractions across Michigan. A Lakeshore Lending Library kiosk at nearby Lakeshore Park extends borrowing services outdoors from dawn to dusk.
