Norris Hall was born and educated in Tennessee. He lived briefly in Illinois and during that time was commissioned by the Library Board to paint "Jungle Library," which was the first artwork hung in the Youth Services Department in 1991 during National Library Week. Norris Hall's graphics also decorated the Library's previous Bookmobile.
