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.
TV Night at NoRa
Friday Dec 12th
Bring a cushion, blanket, pillow or whatever you want to sit on as NoRa shows some old holiday classic TV shows in The Library on Friday December 12th from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
Kick back and relax like it's 1965 and all the adults sound the same - "Waaah, waah, waah".
NoRa will offer discounts on hot chocolates and steamers
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.
We are inviting members of the NoRa community who make their own crafts and are interested in selling their wares to participate in our Pop-Up Market.
We will be looking to provide a variety of locally made art and crafts made specially by members of the NoRa community.
To make this a true community-focused event, we are asking all of our participants to donate either a portion of their sales or a fixed amount to a charity fund that will be distributed to charities identified by NoRa's wonderful team.

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.
