Christmas StoryWalk

The Norton Public Library and Northwest Kansas Library System will be sponsoring their third StoryWalk in downtown Norton, November 25-December 22.   A StoryWalk is a fun educational activity that places a children’s story (literally a book taken apart) along a popular walking route in the community.   Come to the library to pick up a map and start your adventure.   End up at the library for the completion of the story and pick up a special prize.  All families with young children are encouraged to participate.   Have fun reading and walking.

“It’s All About the Books” Book Club

A good book can transport the reader into a whole new world, take you places you have only dreamt of, and make you feel for a character like they are part of your family.   However, if you don’t have someone to share these experiences with, in the end, they are just stories.  If you enjoy reading and discussing what you have read, then the “It’s All About the Books” Book Club may be just what you’re looking for.   You are invited to join monthly discussions on the second Tuesday of each month at the Norton Public Library Community Room.   Meetings start at 7:00 p.m. and will last approximately 90 minutes.    The first meeting is January 13th. There is no charge to become a member.   However, they ask you to bring a coffee cup (with your initials on the bottom, if you would like to leave it), as refreshments will be served.   ” The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini will be the first book the club will read and discuss at the January meeting, and “The Center of Everything” by Laura Moriarty is the chosen book for February.   Members are encouraged to suggest their favorite books for the subsequent months.  The Norton Public Library has multiple copies of the books for check out. Due to the content of some of the books that may be read, the book club ask that all members be over the age of 18.   If you have any questions, please contact the book club secretary, Gayle Walsh, at jwalsh_98@yahoo.com or 785-660-7002.  You can follow “It’s All About the Books”  on the Norton Public Library’s Facebook page or their website at www.nortonpubliclibrary.org.
