Hello and Happy New Year’s Eve!
On behalf of The Pratt and the Northwood Staff, we would like to send a huge thank you for your continued support of The Pratt. It is because of you that all 22 Branches are able to provide great programs, services and resources for the whole family. We look forward to seeing, talking, and working with you in 2026.
Below are a list of programs and flyers for January, 2026 that will be at the Northwood Branch.
As a reminder for those who receive the Compass by mail, there is a new schedule for the publication. The publication will be released by seasons; Winter, Spring, Summer, & Fall which will be released every three months with selected advertised programming. I will continue to send out emails on a monthly basis.
Be Safe, Be Well!
We look forward to a great 2026
