The Norwin Public Library Is Here to Help !
The Norwin Public Library is here to help ! We are proud to support students and educators in their academic and vocational research . Our expert staff can guide you to the resources that will enhance your child ’ s education .
Here are what some Norwin educators have to say about our library :
“ A library is the center of knowledge in a community , and , without question , the Norwin Public Library is an integral part of the greater Norwin community . The Norwin School District and its students , parents , and staff value this tremendous asset and educational partnership .” William H . Kerr , Ed . D ., Superintendent of Schools
“ The Norwin Public Library offers a valuable service to our community through the wide variety of high interest books , resources , and programs they make available . The Norwin School District maintains a partnership with NPL and appreciates their efforts , especially in the summer months , in keeping children engaged in reading and learning .” Natalie A . McCracken , Ed . D . Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education
“ The think I like most about the library is how accessible it is to both students and teachers . We can borrow things to use and keep the knowledge that we need . We are very blessed as a community to have such a wonderful resource at our disposal .” Steve Smith , 4th Grade , Hahntown Elementary
“ The library is a vital community resource . The children ’ s programs are intentional , organized and developmentally appropriate . My own children enjoy the block parties , seasonal activities , music classes , story time , etc . I have used the library for summer book clubs , and have encouraged students to sign up for their own library card . I have checked out numerous biographies and autobiographies for class projects and have utilized the vast selection available for other school related assignments . We are blessed to have this facility in our town !” Natalie Janov , 6th Grade , Hillcrest Intermediate School
The Library is helpful in so many ways ! Of course , Miss Barb is always so accommodating . She is eager to step into the classroom and make books come to life . The students love seeing someone other than their teacher reading and interacting with them . Secondly , teachers are always looking for books ! All I have to do is send a quick email and books are ready for me within a day . My literacy lessons wouldn ’ t be what they are if it weren ’ t for the Norwin library ! Sara Colosimo , Kindergarten , Stewartsville
“ The NPL is a great meeting place ! I reserve the library ’ s community room to host science fair information sessions for the whole district at once . It is a nice large area that we can arrange to our own needs . Plus , once kids decide on a topic they like , the well-stocked children ’ s library is only a few steps away ! The library is a great partner in our program and we couldn ’ t do what we do without them .” Matthew Anticole , NHS-Science
“ Our Norwin Public Library is a gift to the area . The staff is kind and attentive to all ! Whether you ’ re looking to enjoy a play performed by Stage Right , create a DIY project , show your trivia knowledge , or simply browse through the vast selection of books on the shelves , our library has it covered . We are very lucky to have such a welcoming and comfortable place to enjoy as a community .” Dana Helphenstine , 4th Grade ELA Hahntown Elementary
“ The Norwin Public Library is a wonderful place for teachers , students , and families . The friendly and welcoming staff always greets you as you walk through the doors . I frequent the library as much as 3-4 times a week during the school year gathering read alouds for my 2nd grade students . Ms . Barb visits my 2nd grade classroom at Hahntown Elementary several times during the school year to share her exciting and silly stories with my students . Through the years , Ms . Barb not only has been a very reliable resource for my classroom , but she has also become a wonderful friend . The Norwin Public Library is an amazing resource for the entire Norwin community !”
Chelse Burzio , 2nd Grade Hahntown Elementary
Stressed over science ? Humbled by homework ? Don ’ t forget , the library can help ! We have a large selection of Norwin ’ s textbooks , from elementary up through middle school , able to be utilized within the building . So if your student forgets a book , we may be able to allay some stress !
September is National Library Card Sign Up Month and the library has the opportunity to ask all the first graders to become a part of OUR library by getting their very own library card ! Flyers will be sent home with each first grade student at Norwin . If the student needs a card , it ’ s as easy as asking an adult to fill in the information and return it to their first grade teacher . In about a week , a library card and a special coupon will be delivered back to the classroom . ( And when the students return that coupon to the library , as a special THANK YOU gift from the Friends of the Library , each child receives a book they get to keep !) Of course , we love welcoming all new members . If YOU need a library card , please bring proper identification and stop by our circulation desk .
