Support for the Encore catalog will be phased out in the coming months, impacting users at the Stockton library and throughout Stockton Township.
Norman Gutzmer's book is now available to borrow at the Stockton Library!
Our visit with Norman at our Author Night was delightful. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed not only listening to his stories about his time in Stockton but also having the opportunity to share their own memories and stories with him.
His warmth and engaging conversation made the evening especially memorable.
We are thrilled to have his book available for our patrons to borrow. You won't want to miss this exciting mystery.
