Don’t miss out on water-cooler discussions of popular reads just because you’re stuck on a hold list at the library. Skip the long wait with the Northern Onondaga Public Library’s (NOPL) collection of bestsellers called NOPL Express.

NOPL Express books can’t be held, so a selection of the library’s most popular titles are always available for you to browse and borrow. Check out one of these reads for a week; if you need more time, don’t worry: it’ll be automatically renewed for one additional week.

NOPL Express books are available at all three NOPL branches in Brewerton, Cicero and North Syracuse, and can be returned to any of these branches. Stop in today and discover your next favorite book!

Current NOPL Express titles include:
