Welcome to Summer Reading!

Summer at the Norfolk Public Library is going to be green-tacular! Your goal is to read, or be read to, at least 100 minutes per week. Read books, magazines, short stories, websites, newspapers, the back of the cereal box, ANYTHING! So keep reading, track your minutes online and you'll be in for some awesome surprises! There are links and information all around this website to help you get set up for this season. Questions about anything? Email Andrea, Youth Librarian or call the library at 508-528-3380 x5. Start with the "Sign Up!" link below to get started.

End of Summer Musings

Hello everyone! Phew! Can you believe summer went by this fast?! It was filled with awesome books, great programs at the library and cool rewards. I want to thank all of our sponsors for donating everything they did; we had a lot of happy readers!

American Girl Store
Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream
Boston Red Sox
EagleBrook Saloon
Ficco's Bowl-a-Drome
Green Mountain Chocolate
Kathy Ryan Dance Studio
National Amusements
Nicky's Restaurant
Panera Bread
Pawtucket Red Sox
Tootsie's Ice Cream Parlor
Wachusett Mountain

and of course the Friends of the Library, the Junior Friends of the Library and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.

And of course, I am SO proud of our town for reading over 50,000 minutes over 6 weeks! This means that the Norfolk Public Library, by way of a generous donation made by the Friends of the Library, is now the proud owner of an adopted acre of land in the Appalachians! It was so cool to see everyone work together toward this common goal for the better of the environment.

I know there is a lot of anticipation about the bookmark contest. Winners and bookmarks will be available on Monday!

I hope everyone has a GREAT fall and, for most readers, an awesome new school year! And don't forget us here at the public library! We would love to see you!
