The Public Library of New London was opened in 1891 and owes its origin to the generosity of Henry P. Haven who left a fund in the amount of $65,000 which was used to establish this library.  The last major addition was completed in 1976.  Extensive renovations to the Children’s area, the Circulation Department, and the Meeting Room were made in 2006.  Over the past 100 years, many services and interesting programs of high standard have been offered to all ages of the New London community.

The Friends of The Public Library was established in 1976 to promote understanding and support of library services and to help increase the visibility and utility of the library with the cooperation of staff and the Board of Trustees.

By paid dues and special fund-raising events, the Friends provided support for educational programs and services that are not included in the library operating budget.

The Library becomes our personal investment – with our support, we help enrich the quality of life in your community.

The library can be the center of an intellectual life for readers!
