Since we are located right on the seaside our busy season is summer, when many turists visit our library to use the Internet or to search information about our town. During the school year we are a hub to all the school pupils of our town as well as to all the adult population of Novigrad where they all come to read and socialize in a welcoming environement of their library. Our library is free of charge to all permanent residents. Our patrons have 10 computers availabele for use which are hooked up to a central printer/copier/scanner.
