New World Library is a San Francisco Bay Area-based American publisher of books for adults and children. The press focuses on publishing books concerning the mind, the body and the spirit.

The company was established in 1977 by authors Marc Allen and Shakti Gawain under the name Whatever Publishing.

The fledgling firm's first three books were written by Marc Allen; the fourth book they published, Shakti Gawain's Creative Visualization, released in December 1978, became a bestseller under the guidance of Sky Canyon (aka Jon Bernoff), who was President and Publisher from 1979 through 1986, selling over 3 million copies in North America to date, and another 3 million copies worldwide. The success of Shakti's book launched the new company as a source of books for the creative and New Age communities.

Today, New World Library is based out of offices in Novato, California.
