Naperville Public Library: Choose a Branch and Plan a Visit

Naperville Public Library operates three branches: Nichols Library, Naper Boulevard Library and 95th Street Library. Start with the official locations and hours page, then open the branch you intend to visit. Hours and services can differ by location and day. This is a branch-selection guide, not a substitute for the library’s live schedule or catalog.

Which branch should you choose?

Nichols Library is the downtown branch shown in the photograph. Naper Boulevard Library and 95th Street Library serve other parts of the city. Open the branch page for its address, current hours, parking and facilities. Choose by the service you need and your route, rather than a general search snippet.

How do you get a library card?

The library’s library-card page explains current eligibility, identification and application steps. Residency and reciprocal borrowing rules may differ. Review those requirements before visiting; a Naperville mailing address alone does not establish eligibility for every card type.

What should you check before you go?

Use the library’s own site to search the catalog, place a hold or browse events. If you need a room, printer, study space or accessibility feature, confirm that the branch offers it and whether booking is required. The locations page is the last check for holiday or temporary changes.

Can a library stop fit a downtown outing?

Nichols can be combined with a downtown visit. Our Riverwalk guide and free things guide cover separate nearby outing ideas. Check the library’s own rules for events, group visits and photography.
