NoRa closing early on Wednesday June 3, 2026
Due to some unexpected plumbing issues, NoRa will need to close at 5 pm on Wednesday June 3. We will be turning off the water to allow us to work on the plumbing which means we won't be able to serve customers.
Assuming all goes well, we will reopen Thursday morning at our normal 7 am open time.
We apologize for the inconvenience. We're not happy about this either. :)

Final Open Night Mahjong in NoRa's Library
Tuesday May 19th from 5 - 7:30 pm
We have enjoyed opening up our Library to the community to allow people to come together and enjoy games with friends and family. Unfortunately, due to some ongoing concerns over the past several weeks, we are ending open game nights.
We are evaluating ways in which we can offer future game evenings in a manner that aligns with NoRa's policies and principles.
We are sorry to have to end this very enjoyable event.
Please check the website and social media for updates as we look for alternative ways to support community-friendly game nights and activities.
