The Norwin Public Library
Board of Directors and Staff
would like to thank the Norwin
community for making us the
highest circulating library in
Westmoreland County while
having only half the population
of the biggest districts.
uring the past year, the library
circulated over 160,000 books,
movies, and music CDs. That
amounts to over $2 million
in savings to the community
without even considering the amount saved
by patrons utilizing our public computers
and free Wi-Fi. One husband and wife have
achieved lifetime savings of over $50,000
alone. Stop in to find out your savings!
We average almost 300 visitors every day.
Many are here to borrow our items, but there
are also many
who engage
in tutoring
sessions,
attend book
clubs, and take
advantage
of our programs for adults and children alike.
Yoga sessions, creating craft gifts for the
holidays, trivia nights, and local and national
history presentations are all ways to meet new
friends and learn new things.
We hope you’ll consider attending one
of our adult programs this summer, but
remember it’s never too late to
sign up your child for our Summer
Reading Program for 2019. This
summer’s theme is “A Universe of
Stories” and focuses on space and
the universe.
