Norwalk Easter Public Library seeks to provide exceptional service, foster community connections, value innovation, and encourage discovery.

Meet Scribbles!

Scribbles the dog is the library’s mascot. He is a great representative of the library as he is friendly, playful, and welcoming. Scribbles will be at the library most of the time with special appearances during some storytimes, Early Out Days, or other events that meet at the library.

Scribbles loves to get out and about in Norwalk to meet new people and encourage them to use the library. If your child care center, preschool, school, senior care center, organization, or business would like to schedule a visit with Scribbles, please email Teen Services Librarian Catherine Shook at cshook@norwalk.iowa.gov .

Many thanks to the Norwalk Easter Public Library Foundation which paid for Scribbles’ ‘adoption fee’.

HIRTA launched in Norwalk on March 1, 2022. You can book your ride up to 14 days in advance.

Adventure Pass on Pause Starting December 31, 2024

Due to losing our reservation software vendor, the Iowa Libraries Adventure Pass will be put on pause starting December 31st. The calendar is still open for new reservations through December 31st. 

Reservations that were previously made for dates past December 31st will still be honored. However, new reservations are not being taken for dates after December 31st.

We know you all love the Adventure Pass, and we are working on finding a new reservation software to get it back up and running as soon as we can!

This will affect all libraries that participate in the Adventure Pass program.

Iowa Libraries provide free passes to area attractions – Blank Park Zoo, Des Moines Children’s Museum, Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden, and Science Center of Iowa – for a day of family fun! Passes allow entrance for two (2) adults and two (2) children. Additional tickets can be purchased at the venue.
