Our library has so many great resources and we are always looking for creative ways to benefit our patrons. The Norfolk Public Library is proud to announce the launch of our Stuffbrary. This collection will be full of all sorts of useful "stuff" that you may have always wanted to try, or may only use once so would prefer not to buy, like a ukulele, a sous vide cooker, or an Instant Pot.

Please add your support by participating in our partnership with Amazon Smile... its easy, costs you nothing, and means a lot to us. We are an all-volunteer run organization and are able to provide significant program and services funding support to the library each year. Every penny counts!
