Based on the rapid increase of COVID-19 cases in the area recently, the Northern Tier Library has reluctantly decided to delay our re-opening. We will continue to offer lobby pick up for library materials, online programming, grab and go crafts for kids, and one hour computer sessions by appointment. We hope to be able to re-open soon, but that will be dependent on the number of new cases. Please check our website and Facebook for further updates.

The Northern Tier Library has opened our book drops and begun quarantining the returns. The library is now offering contactless lobby pickup for books and other library materials. Items can be requested through the catalog again.  You may still request by phone (724-449-2665) or email (northerntierlibrary@gmail.com) as well.

Returned items will be quarantined for at least 72 hours, but often longer, before being checked in.

Thanks for your patience! See you in the lobby!

Computer Use

The library will be offering limited computer use slots. These will be for one hour each at 11 am, 1 pm, and 3pm. Patrons must call the library ahead of time to schedule a time slot, up to a week in advance. (There is no guarantee that a specific slot will be available.) Slots are currently limited to one per person per day, and two per person per week.

Just need to print?

Use our mobile printing from home and then stop by the library and knock on the inner doors to pick it up. It’s a good idea to call first and make sure it’s in our print queue. Please bring exact change – we won’t have change available.

The library is not currently accepting donations. Please do not leave donated materials here.

Bookmobile Service
The Bookmobile has resumed curbside pickup services.

Free WiFi
The WiFi at the Northern Tier Library is still on and can be accessed from the parking lot! (Please remember to stay in your car or use proper social distancing.)
