Northfield Library Roof Project – Library Open, Parking Limited

Starting Monday, 3/24, the Village of Northfield will begin a roof replacement project on the Northfield Library building. The library will remain open, and all services will continue as usual. However, parking adjacent to the building will be limited throughout the project, which is expected to last several weeks.

Thank you for your patience and support as we make these improvements!
