Services for area residents and businesses
Residents and businesses in the 4 1/2 county area served by NCC are welcome to obtain a library card and may check out most library materials. A photo ID is required to obtain a library card. Visitors to the library may request access to library computers or log in to the wireless network. (NCC students are given priority if computers are in short supply.)
