Norwin Library Open For Browsing and Limited Computer Use
The Norwin Public Library is now open to the public… with a few temporary changes to adhere with safety guidelines set out by the CDC and the State of Pennsylvania.
Masks on! All patrons and staff will be required to wear a mask when inside the building. If you have a medical condition that precludes you or your family from wearing a mask, don’t worry. We offer curbside pickup and reader’s advisory services. Place holds on our website, or give us a call at 724-863-4700 x 3. We will take your requests and call you when you can pick up your items from our Curbside table outside the library.
As always, hand sanitizer will be available for you when you enter the building.
Patrons should maintain a six foot distance from staff and other patrons.
Chairs and couches have been removed from the Adult, young adult, and children’s area.
Magazines can now be checked out, however, newspapers will not be available due to the risk of contamination.
All items returned to the library will be quarantined for 72 hours upon return.
Computer use will be limited to one hour.
Use of the Local History Room will be by appointment only.
Please, no donations at this time.
Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to seeing you soon!

To Our Patrons and the Norwin Community
We hope you and everyone you know is remaining safe and healthy. The Norwin Public Library, along with all other libraries in Pennsylvania, remains closed under direction of the Pennsylvania Office of Commonwealth Libraries.
Currently, we have been given no specific information regarding when we will be allowed to reopen. We hope it will be soon.
In the meantime, the staff is developing strategies and safety measures that we plan to implement designed to keep everyone safe while we wait for the end of this difficult time for all of us.
The Norwin Public Library will be accepting NO DONATIONS of any kind during this time.
