Come In For a Visit
Please take a moment while you’re at Normandale to step into the library. It’s a quiet place where you can relax and browse.
As you look around the library, you will see a variety of materials available for checkout. These include, of course, fiction and non-fiction books, but also art prints and CD recordings of Normandale worship services.
Children delight in choosing a book from our collection of over 2000 children’s books. In fact, children from the Normandale Preschool are our biggest library users.
Library Staff
Greet the librarian. He or she will be happy to help you find what you are looking for and to answer any questions you have about the library.
The librarians at Normandale are all volunteers. Some are members of the Lydia and Rachel circles.
If you stop by on a Wednesday morning, you will see the librarians busy with the many tasks required to maintain the library.
The Library Mural
The back wall of the library, above the children’s section, is decorated with a beautiful mural illustrating the story of Noah’s Ark. This colorful mural was painted by a Normandale member, Lois Anderson, in 2000.
