Join Norwood Library’s Adult Book Club for a discussion of our latest selection Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot. For Adults

Terese Marie Mailhot survived a dysfunctional upbringing on the Seabird Island Indian Reservation only to find herself hospitalized with a diagnosis of PTSD and bipolar II disorder. She is given a notebook and begins to write her way out of trauma. The result is Heart Berries, a memorial for Mailhot's mother, a story of reconciliation with her father, and an elegy on how difficult it is to love someone while dragging the shadows of shame.

About the branch

The original Norwood Library opened on November 22, 1950 as a storefront library at 4772 Peck Road. The library was opened to provide service to residents of the unincorporated area north of the city of El Monte.

The city annexed this area in the early 1960's. Property for a larger site was purchased in 1967. Finally, on April 15, 1977, the new Norwood Library opened at this address.

The library has an active Friends of the Library which strongly supports library programs and services.
