Notes from NWPL

Along with a weekly booklist in The Vermont Standard, NWPL publishes a short column that explores activities at and subjects concerning the library. Mostly organized in date order, we keep a few “evergreen” posts at the  beginning of the scroll.

Social Media

Norman Williams Public Library is quietly active on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter — in fact there are two Instagram accounts: one with posts from the children’s room and one for adults.

Here is where we share information about closure for snow days and reminders of upcoming events. We encourage you to engage with us on whatever platforms you use to stay up to date on timely announcements and late breaking news.
