total)? Come down to the library for books, videos, and music and watch your number grow!
ummer may be drawing to a
close, but we have a lot of great
events planned for the fall.We’d
like to thank everyone who
participated in our Summer Reading
Program “A Universe of Stories!” and give
a special “Thank You” to the Friends of the
Norwin Public Library who sponsored this
year’s program. We had a wonderful time
exploring the solar system and beyond,
and we hope you did, too. New programs
and events are right around the corner, so
don’t forget the library is a place where you
can discover new worlds all year long!
