To all of you who help the Friends of the Morrill Memorial Library as we work to support this very important Norwood institution! We couldn’t do it without you!
From keeping your membership up to date (annually, in December, we provide forms in the town’s Light Bill mailing, but you can join or renew any time at the library!) to attending our events (Book Sales, booth at Norwood Day, speakers and other programs), to directly volunteering your time - YOU make it possible. And, to that we say keep it up!
…And, again, Thank you!"
