Join Norwood Library’s Adult Book Club for a discussion of our latest selection 'How not to drown in a glass of water' by Angie Cruz. For Adults Sponsored by The Friends of the Norwood Library
Cara Romero thought she would always work at the factory, but job loss forces her back into the job market. Set up with a counselor, Cara begins narrating her life: love affairs; relationships with her neighbor and her sister; struggles with debt and loss; and, what really happened with her son. As Cara confronts her secrets and regrets, we see a woman buffeted by life but still full of fight.

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.
