Your vision informs our future.

The Norwich Library is developing a new strategic plan that will provide vision and direction for NPL for the next three years.

Here's how to weigh in.

1. Attend a public forum. The next forum will take place at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 29, at the Norwich Public Library. Please RSVP to Lucinda Walker at 802-649-1184 or lucinda.walker@norwichlibrary.org.

2. Take our online survey. It takes 10 minutes and gives you the opportunity to share your vision for the library.

April is National Volunteers Month!

During this month of national recognition, library staff would like to express appreciation and gratitude for our fabulous, committed volunteers who contribute their hard work, good humor, and kind fellowship to patrons and staff every day throughout the year. NPL would not be the welcoming and vibrant community resource it is without the almost 2,000 hours that our volunteers contribute annually.

Peeps Diorama Contest

Entries accepted April 21-26

Peeps -- those colorful, squashy marshmallow treats -- are a sure sign of spring. This April, you're invited to "make a scene" with Peeps in NPL's (NPeepL's) first ever Peeps diorama contest!

Create a scene starring Peeps and inspired by anything you can check out from the library (books, movies, museum passes, magazines, etc.).

Entries will be accepted at the library from Monday, April 21 through Saturday, April 26, during normal library operating hours only. For contest rules, prizes, and more information, please click here.
