The James Library & Center for the Arts

The James Library & Center for the Arts

The James Library & Center for the Arts is a nonprofit organization offering programs in music, art, and literature. Housed in a landmark 1874 Victorian building in the heart of historic Norwell Center, the James features a concert hall with a Steinway B grand piano, a free lending library, and an art gallery offering new exhibits each month.

The James is a vibrant place within the South Shore arts community with its active music instruction schedule, a stream of library patrons visiting daily, and activities offered throughout the year.

Help the James Library continue to be a gathering place in the community for art, music, and literature.
