The Norfolk library2015 aNNual reporT

The Norfolk Library has served the commu-nity for 127 years. The vision of our founder, Isabella Eldridge, for the Library as a place of learning and culture, open to all free of charge, has been carried forward, unaltered. A dedicated staff, a loyal group of volunteers, and many generous patrons and friends have ensured that the Norfolk Library is the best of its kind.This brochure summarizes our revenues and expenses for the fiscal year July 1, 2014 – June 30, 2015. As in years past, we depend upon the generosity of our friends, which al-lows us to be open every day and provide the widest array of library services. Thank you for your support.
