Tuesdays are Mahjong Night
5 pm to 7:30 pm in The Library at NoRa

We are opening up The Library every Tuesday evening to anybody looking for a place to play mahjong. While we aren't hosting the games ourselves, we hope you will take advantage to bring your group to play or perhaps meet others and join their group.
NOTE: This event will be cancelled when The Library is reserved for a private event

[part of NoRa's Community House initiative]
Join us on the first and third Thursdays each month in The Library at NoRa for Silent Book Club. A time for people to gather together but read separately in a warm, friendly and quiet space.
Please plan to arrive between 6 and 6:30 pm to settle in. We will be closing the doors at 6:30 to ensure as quiet a space as possible between 6:30 and 7:30.
Silent Writers Club
Second and fourth Thursdays of each month
5 pm to 8 pm in The Library
[Part of NoRa's Community House Initiative]
Whether a fledgling, struggling or established writer, NoRa invites you to come and find your creative spot in our Library every second and fourth Thursday of the month.
For those of us who need a dedicated time and place, NoRa will supply a quiet, comfortable spot and you bring the writing materials and your passion. This is not a writers' workshop although if enough interest, we can look at forming a periodic meeting time to help each other and share ideas.
No cost for this. Just show up and write.
