2025 in Review Photo Wall
NoRa is creating a photo wall of pictures from our community that represents this past year. Each person may submit one photo to art@noracafenc.com. We will print out all the pictures as 4x6 prints and post on our wall. Please include your name and contact information as we will be giving out NoRa gift cards to favorites as picked by our staff and by our community.
Silent Book Club
First and third Thursdays each month
6 - 7:30 pm in The Library at NoRa
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.
Join Meg in NoRa's Library for a holiday treat.
She will supply the kit and you supply the creativity.

NoRa Community Pop-Up Market
Sunday, Dec 14 Noon - 7 pm
NoRa is hosting a Community Pop-Up Market in The Library at NoRa on Sunday Dec 14 from noon until 7 pm.
Twenty-one local vendors will be selling their handmade art, crafts, gifts and specialty items.
To make this a true community-focused event, all vendors will be making a donation to the NoRa charity fund that will be distributed to charities identified by NoRa's wonderful team.
SAVE A BOOK FOR CHARITY
NoRa's Community Book Drive for Charity
NoRa and Dog-Eared Books are teaming up to raise money for charity. We are bringing in lovingly used books into The Library at NoRa to save them from heading to recycling. A wide variety of books will be available for purchase Monday Dec 15 through Wed Dec 17 from 5 pm to 8 pm. You may choose to pay whatever you feel is appropriate per book (we suggest at least $1 per book) and NoRa will donate 90% of all funds received to local charities as picked by the NoRa team.
Stop by and find an old classic or a new-to-you sci-fi or coffee table book. Whether for you, as a gift or to donate to the local free library, your purchase will help support a local charity identified by your NoRa family.

Temporary Pricing Update
Due to the continued increase costs that we are experiencing through our vendors and suppliers, NoRa has decided that we must make the following changes to our pricing until the current unusual costs return to normal levels.
You can find more information about these changes on our Pricing Update page.
While almost every item has gone up in price recently from 6% to over 100% including some core ingredients such as coffee beans, NoRa has decided to only focus on one of our most used and highest impacted items - to-go containers.
5 cent temporary surcharge to to-go items
We are implementing a temporary 5 cent surcharge on to-go items to help mitigate the increases to the cups, lids, boxes and other to-go containers. This charge is only for items asked for in to-go containers and is not added to in-house items. As a reminder, we now have in-house cups and glasses for all drinks - both hot and cold - with the exception of 20 ounce hot drinks. NOTE: This surcharge will be eliminated as soon as our costs for these items returns close to what it had been.
35 cent discount on your order if you bring your own cup for your drink
We are also offering a 35 cent discount on your order if you bring a cup for your drink. As a way of saying thank-you to those who help reduce the waste of using disposable cups when you want to take your drink with you, we will reduce the overall cost of your order by 35 cents if you use your own cup as part of your order.
We appreciate your understanding while we implement this temporary surcharge. NoRa has only raised its core prices twice in our six year history and we didn't want to raise prices now - thus the temporary surcharge. We do plan on removing the extra surcharge (although we will leave the 35 cent discount for using your own cup) as soon as we can.
New Library Hours
Starting September 25th, The Library will be open to the public from 7 am to 5 pm every day.
The Library will close its doors at 5 pm each night to allow us to host a variety of activities and events in that space.
For those interested in renting The Library, we will be posting on the website information about the process and costs for renting out The Library both in the evenings and during the day.
