Fundraising Programs
The Newtown Library Company is a non-profit library, run almost entirely by volunteers and not affiliated with the local branch system. To keep our beautiful, historic library running, we rely on our membership and local businesses for support. With the continued challenges brought on by COVID-19, we are looking for new ways to bring the community together despite important social distancing measures. We strive to enrich the community through our programs and special events while also keeping a steady stream of popular bestsellers available for checkout. To that end, we need your help!
Please consider making a donation to the library and remembering us when you shop at McCaffrey’s Food Markets or with Amazon Smile. See below for details about all of the ways you can help the library!
