Paul Memorial Library

The library will close at 2:00pm on Wednesday, November 21 and reopen on Saturday November 24th. Happy Thanksgiving!

Ten girls in grades 6 through 9 recently completed an 8-hour 4H certified Babysitting Course at the library taught by Pam.  Topics covered included child development, nutrition, first aid, child and infant CPR, when and how to call for help, how best to entertain children and most importantly, how to be responsible and keep the children safe at all times.

They are ready and enthusiastic to start babysitting!

A list of contact information for them will be available at the library desk.

The Friends of the Library have new tote bags for sale!

These are wonderful for carrying books but great for lots of other things too. They will make lovely gifts as well.

The cost is $10 – payable in cash or by check made out to the Friends of the Newfields Public Library.

Thank you to all those who baked for our Friends Election Day Bake Sale, those who made soup and everyone who purchased items! Over $750 was raised that will go towards enhancing library activities.

The rain held off and we had a great turnout for our annual BOO Parade held on October 27th. Thank you to the folks that we visited: The Country Store, Main Street Art, The Community Church, Town Hall, and the Police Station!

A new knitting group is forming at the library – please join us. Bring a project that you are working on or something new that you want to start.

Thursdays at 1:00 pm, starting January 21st

Coffee, tea and water are provided.

We now have a new library catalog system – you can click on it from this website – on right hand side side. We hope you find it very user friendly!

Here is what will be different:

You can sign in to your own account using your library card number (ask us!) and the password is your telephone number without area code. Now you can renew your own books, see what you have checked out and send us suggestions.

If you use Overdrive to download books and audios – the way to sign in has changed:

Your account number is still your four-digit library card number but without the 4272 in front of it. Your password/pin is your telephone number without area code and as 7 digits all together. Please let us know if you have any trouble – send us an email to newpl@comcast.net or give us a call at 778-8169.

Effective July 25, 2016 the Overdrive Address is:
