Take a walk around the library building and enjoy this month’s StoryWalk featuring the picture book, Homer the Library Cat by Reeve Lindbergh.

Keep an eye out on NCTV for an interview with Alison Wood, discussing all of the great services we offer at the library.

Newport students will contribute to a display expressing their love for the library.

Yes, We Are Open!

The RFL is pleased to announce that we will now be open to public browsing once again! Browsing and computer use will no longer be by appointment only, and materials can be checked out at the front desk.


Masks continue to be required, and we ask patrons to limit their time in the building to 30 minutes at a time.


We will also be limiting computer users to 2 at a time, and the children’s section to 2 family groups at a time.


We are excited to see our patrons again and to continue to provide services to our community in this capacity once more!
