Join Norwood Library’s Adult Book Club for a discussion of our latest selection 'Lily and the Octopus' by Steven Rowley. For Adults Sponsored by The Friends of the Norwood Library
Teddy is single in L.A and debates with his dachshund, Lily, who occupies his heart. He is also able to communicate with the "octopus" attached to Lily's head, which is a lethal cranial tumor. Teddy faces off with the "octopus", engaging it in a battle of wills that takes on epic proportions. A tribute to the love between a pet and its human.

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.
