Tax Forms and Preparation Update

Tax forms are available at all NOPL locations. Curbside services will remain available if you prefer contactless pickup. We are unable to offer AARP tax preparation services due to a shortage of volunteers. If you need online access to file your taxes, you can make an appointment to use a computer at the library or you can borrow one of our new Tech Packs. Each Tech Pack includes a WiFi hotspot with unlimited data, a laptop, and set-up instructions.
