The Librarians Documentary - Friends of Norman Williams Public Library
Now Available at The Library

The Librarians – An Important Documentary

The Librarians is a must-see because it turns book bans from an abstract debate into a human story of courage, censorship, and democracy under pressure. By following librarians defending the freedom to read, the film reminds us that controlling books means controlling voices, histories, identities, and ultimately communities themselves, too.

This DVD, which has been gifted to the Norman Williams Public Library by The Friends, is now available for checkout for all library patrons!

Bridge at NWPL

Bridge At The Library!

The Friends of the Norman Williams Public Library welcome everyone for the weekly bridge game on Thursday afternoons.

Because the library has limited occupancy, members of the Friends will have priority at the tables. To save a place, please RSVP to Peggy Fraser at fraserusa@gmail.com
