Langdon Public Library

Deftly competing to be among the best of the many wonderful little libraries that we have thankfully scattered throughout the state The Langdon Public Library mixes in the old with the new. The old building now has some older volumes, a meeting room and some beautiful restored hardwood flooring. The new main library is nicely spaced with some WW-II airplane models on the south side and a children’s section at the west end.

Small library in a beautiful old building. Great childrens room with lots of activities. Staff was pleasant and space clean.

The Langdon Public Library was erected in 1892 out of brick, granite, & slate as a gift from Mr Woodbury Langdon III, along with some 2,000 books of his personal collection. Some of the costs were also covered from timber sales from Newington's town forest, the oldest town forest in the US. Langdons original donated books are still on display at the library today. The Langdon Library is a contributing property to the Newington Centre Historic District, a US Historic District, & is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

One of the coziest, friendliest, and most welcoming places on earth.

Best library of its size in the USA!
