New Britain Public Library (NBPL)

New Britain Public Library A wealth of resources under one place especially the New Britain Historical Room. An entire children’s department which has books my mother read, The Jungle Book, Where the Wild Things Are, and so forth… I have been a Faithful Member since 1979, Fourth generation New Britain-ite, first field trip from Chamberlain Elementary school school and so many workshops and crafts through the years. Thank You all knowledgeable and courteous Staff for 4 decades on continuous improvement.

The renting DVD & CD policy's are the best they've ever been now and everyone's friendly as soon as you walk inside until you leave. Free use of computer's truly helped me out when I didn't own one and best location from my house too!

This library is vast, spanning multiple floors with books, DVD's, movies, and even CD's to boot! There are multiple reading areas, a family craft area, shelves lined with content for your eyes and ears, and a computer station for getting work done or searching the online catalog! The staff there are amazing and very knowledgeable. Considering I rarely carry cash anymore, my only complaint is there isn't a way to pay by card for using the library printing & copying services, compared to other libraries I've visited. I hope this library considers this idea. Even it is enough to knock off a star, I still recommend this library for all to be read, watched, and listened to!

Informational, and resourceful. Can be a good place to do paperwork if need be, etc. And the artistry is excellent throughout the library itself. Also can get "safety brochures" w/ meeting dates & times on places such as AA, NA. Neat!

Books are available for all ages , lot of options to choose and CD’s available for rent , you can renew online in your account if you have a library card . Children’s department conduct lot of classes for kids. Library is well-maintained, clean and quiet environment.
