Situated in the heart of Norwood Center, just a stone’s throw from the intersection of Walpole Street and Central Street, the library provides passport services to a diverse demographic, ranging from young families in the Oakview neighborhood preparing for their first international vacation to seniors residing at the nearby New Pond Village retirement community seeking to renew their passports for overseas travel. The library also serves many residents from the surrounding neighborhoods of South Norwood and Ellis Pond.

Historically, the library has played a critical role in Norwood’s intellectual and cultural development, providing resources and programs that support lifelong learning.

Parking at the Morrill Memorial Library can be easily managed with a few local tips. There is a small parking lot directly behind the library, accessible from Guild Street, offering approximately 25 free parking spaces. However, these spots tend to fill up quickly, especially during peak hours on weekdays. Alternatively, metered street parking is available on Walpole Street and Central Street, with rates typically around $1.25 per hour, with a two-hour maximum. Be sure to feed the meter using the convenient parking app or the pay stations located along the sidewalks. For longer appointments or if street parking is unavailable, the municipal parking lot on Nahatan Street, located about 2 blocks east of the library, offers ample parking for $0.75 per hour. During winter months, be mindful of snow removal regulations, as parking bans may be in effect after significant snowfall, and vehicles may be towed. In the summer, parking under the shade of the trees along Guild Street provides a welcome respite from the heat. Arriving a few minutes early to find parking is always a good strategy, particularly during busy times like Saturday mornings or weekday afternoons when school is out.
The Morrill Memorial Library is conveniently accessible by public transportation. The MBTA Commuter Rail’s Franklin Line stops at the Norwood Central Station, located just a short 0.3-mile walk from the library. Upon exiting the station, walk west along Pleasant Street, then turn left onto Walpole Street, and you’ll see the library on your right. The walk takes approximately 5-7 minutes. Additionally, several MBTA bus routes serve the area, including Bus #34E, which stops directly in front of the library on Walpole Street. The bus runs approximately every 30 minutes during peak hours and every hour during off-peak times. A single ride fare is $2.40, and day passes are available for $5.20. The Norwood Central Station is fully accessible, with ramps and elevators available for passengers with mobility challenges. Bus #34E is also equipped with wheelchair lifts, ensuring that all individuals can easily access the library. The library itself is located on a well-maintained sidewalk, making it a comfortable and safe walk from the train station or bus stop. During the winter months, the town of Norwood ensures that sidewalks are promptly cleared of snow and ice, making transit accessible year-round.
