April Program Highlights at the Norfolk Public Library

For a full list of programs and activities this month, or to register for the following programs, visit norfolkpl.org. 
Wednesday, April 3 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Kitchen Swap That Elmo birthday cake pan from five years ago, the icing set you swore you’d use, that perfectly good mixing bowl that just doesn’t fit in the cupboard anymore... Why not give it a new home! Bring your gently-used, CLEAN kitchen supplies to the library to swap for new-to-you materials. Rule of thumb: If you wouldn’t want to receive it, please don’t bring it. No registration required.
Thursday, April 4 from 7 to 8 p.m. Author Talk Join author Virginia Rafferty for her talk on Eastern European immigration between 1882 and 1912. Rafferty will be integrating her family history and the research that culminated in her three published novels: “The House on Peace Street,” “The Road to Lattimer,” and “Family Secrets...Hidden in the Shadows of Time.” Registration required.
Tuesday, April 9 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The Best Way to Declutter Your Home Hosted by Susan McCarthy of ALessClutteredLife.com. Is there a best way to declutter and organize your home? It all depends upon the time you can give to decluttering as well as your energy, attention level, and decision-making skills. We’ll discuss the pros and cons of the most popular methods for decluttering and how to figure out what will work best for your situation. Susan McCarthy is a professional organizer, and after the stress of emptying her parents’ home, she took a closer look at her own possessions and began decluttering. That process of discovery encouraged her to begin helping others to clear the clutter from their homes. Registration required.
