The Norris Community Library will be closed for renovation October 30 th – November 13 th .
During this time the library will be getting some new flooring, bookshelves, and a circulation
desk. While the library is closed, no materials will be due or accrue fines/fees. Our phone lines,
email, online catalog, TN READs, public Wi-Fi, and website will remain available. Please hold
any checked-out items until we open on November 14th .
Prior to October 30th , as items arrive and the library prepares for closure, some areas of the
library will become unavailable. For the most up to date information on the project, please
follow us on any of our social media accounts. During the renovation, the library portion of the
building will be closed to the public. As such, if you need computer access, items printed or
faxed, or proctor services, please visit any of the other three Anderson County libraries. The staff
at each location will be happy to assist.
As part of the renovation preparation, the library is requesting volunteers to help with
packing/moving of boxes and dismantling/assembling of shelves. If you would like to volunteer
or know someone interested in volunteering, please contact the Norris Library at 865-494-6800.
Please note that if you are or have a child that needs volunteer hours for NHS, PROMISE, etc.,
volunteer hours at the library can count towards those requirements. The library is also in need of
boxes to pack books. If you have any medium sized boxes available, please drop them off at the
library during our regular business hours.
This renovation process was made possible thanks to generous support from the estate of
William (Bill) Warren Jolly Jr and the Friends of the Norris Community Library.
