Friends of the Norton Public Library

The Friends of the Norton Public Library are a non-profit organization designed to stimulate community interest in library services and to support the library in providing these services. Through a program of volunteer, promotional, and fundraising activities, the Friends help acquire important materials and equipment beyond the limit of the library's regular operating budget. They also aim to inform the community of the library's resources, services, and needs.

Friends' Meetings are held in the Community Room at the library at 6:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month unless otherwise noted. Please check the calendar of events. Everyone is invited to join the Friends!

Be a Friend  
The Friends of the NPL are looking to increase their membership. Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm and usually last about an hour. Can’t make the meetings? Do you have a few hours to spare each month? There are many volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Book sales, plant sale, flea market and bake sale are just some of the fundraisers in need of volunteers. Membership forms may be found at the library or online.

The Friends of the Library do accept donations for materials in good condition. Please see donation guidelines below:
