The Library will be temporarily closed beginning Saturday, March 14. Out of an abundance of caution and in an attempt to help stop the spread of the coronavirus, the Board of Trustees have decided to close the library for at least two weeks. All due dates will be changed and fines accrued during this period will be waived. Click here for the full announcement.
​​
We encourage you to follow the recommendations for minimizing the spread of the virus (see below for more information). We will continue to update our website, social media, phone message, and send an email newsletter with changes when we have them.
Thank you for your understanding and stay well.

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 are accepting donations. Please see donation guidelines below:
