Floating Collections
All Nevada County Library items now "float" - meaning they are shelved at the branch where they are returned. In the past items belonged or "lived" at a particular branch, so had to be transferred back to their home branch from where they were returned. No more! Items will rotate more, offering new variety for you, the patron. Be prepared to see books, dvds, music and more that have never seen your library's shelf. New selections daily!
 
Chromebooks are here!
Chromebooks are a newer, lighter, faster type of small laptop designed for quick web-browing. Gifted to us by the State Library, they're available for in-house use at all branches.
