Norco Public Library

Great library for children! Small, cozy, and easy to access books. Fun story time for kids including music, storytelling, and arts & crafts! There are many other events for older children throughout the month. The Norco Library is part of the RIverside County Public Library System therefore from the comfort of your home you can order any book from this system and pick it up at the front desk while your children browse for books!

My 2−½ year old daughter has been coming to the Norco Library for about 1 month now! She participates in weekly preschool story time! They read books, sing songs and do really cute crafts!
I’m so impressed with all of the FREE programs they have for kids, and occasionally have programs in the afternoon that working parents can attend with their children as well! I really love our town and appreciate having a library that sparks my daughters imagination and yearn to read and create!

I recently started going to this library based on a recommendation from a friend. The library is definitely small but there is a lot packed into it. The library is part of the Riverside County Library system so if the Norco branch doesn’t have a book you need they can have it sent over from another library. The library also has a lot of programs for kids like reading time for toddlers and crafts for grade school age kids.

Not great selection wish they would get newer books

This is a good library if you have kids. The adult reading sections aren’t very expansive. Even so, I have been able to find what I’m looking for every time. Their bargain bins have some decent stuff in there sometimes.
They have a pretty good selection of kids books, magazines, and movies.
Also, I love the events they have a couple times a week or so. Great to take the kids to, and it doesn’t cost anything!
BTW, it is easy to pass this place up if you’re traveling down Hamner. I get onto Sierra, and then make a Left at Detroit. The road to the library is on the left, just before you pass over the freeway.

Per my dad’s recommendation, I came here looking for a place to study while staying with my parents. He said it was quiet because it’s in BFE and a good place to focus. He was certainly right about the BFE part. I got lost along the way (If you pass a bridge with a stream of water running underneath it, you’ve gone too far). The library, and the city of Norco for that matter, is located in a ranch type town (A lot of the eggs you find in the supermarket are from Norco). The library itself looks like a general store and even hosts a Horse Library. Yes, a dedicated library all about horses for these local cowboys. Yee haw.
Needless to say, this isn’t much of a library. There were only about three communal tables inside, all of which were in use, and no carrels or private study areas. Not much of anything really, including books. I was amused by the bargain bins, however, and found some familiar CD classics from N’Sync, Alanis Morisette, and Mariah Carey for a buck each. Used, of course.
A nearby venue next to the library hosts Bingo Night and square dancing events, gotta love that. And next door to the library is a small book store full of used or donated materials. I found the whole ordeal of discovering this place pretty entertaining, considering it’s not everyday someone from LA stumbles across an old western town with dirt roads, cowboy boot and supply emporiums, and horse libraries. That isn’t to say that this place is completely free of urban influence. I saw a real cowboy in SPURS order a frap at a drive-​thru Starbucks on horse back.
