Before the COVID-19 pandemic changed daily lives, the Thomas B. Norton Public Library in Gulf Shores was a happening spot in town. The computer lab was full of Snowbirds and locals, the study tables were full of high school and college students, and patrons young and old checked out books. The library calendar was always full of in-person programming.
After the pandemic closed the building for several months, the staff had to pivot and keep patrons engaged from home. The children’s story time was moved online, the monthly craft club is now a take home kit.
