Newtown Public Library

Well stocked with latest arrivals and variety. Wide variety of game and activity books for children. Friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful library. And will take book donations any time. I just ask if you have many to give them a heads up first. And very helpful workers.

The ladies were helpful in getting my library card yesterday, they were welcoming and accommodating for my need. Being deaf/hard of hearing, they were quick to understand my need for reading lips, removed their mask so that I could understand her. It’s a nice small library, well organized, lovely children section. It’s a nice library for a community where there are children. I also like the fact that the librarian answered my questions about different kinds of events that they have in the library as I was trying to get out more to meet new people. COVID pandemic has really made me more isolated and I lost a lot of friends and been very lonely outside of work. I am looking forward to coming to the library for some of these events to join with people with similar interests.

Beautifully organized shelves, excellent librarians, useful self-checkout …. am I wrong in wishing it were actually a quiet place to read and study? Someone give me a lead, because I would love to find a place that’s like what libraries used to be! It’s helpful to know that plans are in place to create spaces that are both quiet and open to group activities.

A BIG Thank You! to the Newtown Library staff for orchestrating the "Contactless" drop off and pick up of books during the pandemic shut down. A day without a good book is not a good day at all! The staff made it so easy to choose a book and pick it up, usually within 24 hours. The "Pop Up" book sale was the highlight of my day during one visit. What a thrill it was during those dark days to peruse the book cart and find a gem of a book for $1. Thank you to all.
