The origin of the Newfields town library, Paul Memorial Library, reaches back to the late 1880′s with a donation from John Brodhead, the gentleman featured on the right of our web banner. The current library building was established in 1953 with the generous proceeds of Isabel Paul’s estate. Since then the library has remained the center of many stories of Newfields residents who remember visiting as children themselves. It retains the original book collections of the Paul family as well as other Newfields residents and has a curious and varied historical New Hampshire collection. It is located at 76 Main Street, just down from City Hall.
The library maintains an extensive selection of mystery genre novels and offers a spacious and inviting children’s room. The Friends of the Paul Memorial Library help support various library missions including the purchase of DVDs and children’s books. Visit our Children’s page to learn more about the upcoming Summer Reading Program. We hope to see you at the library soon!
