It has moved several times through the years, and was even closed for a short time due to the "difficulties," otherwise known as the Revolutionary War. Today, it is housed in a small brick building on Centre Street, a few blocks up from State Street and the center of commercial Newtown Borough. It is a nonprofit, membership organization ($20. per individual), servicing the needs of bibliophiles in the community. Some of the books in the collection are older than the library, as are the famous William Penn chairs. It is another one of those well preserved and well intentioned institutions that help us understand the meaning of creating a new country and culture, and honoring that heritage daily. It is a great place to visit, or peruse the stacks. The children's' section is warm and inviting. The volunteer staff, knowledgeable and welcoming. Simply an amazing living history we can all feel, as we imagine how it was to live and learn in the eighteenth century in the formative years of our nation.

You can also borrow instruments, games and puzzles. They have a nice list of museums you can borrow free passes for and some you can print on the internet instead of checking out in person. They have a full calendar of events. I love that they have private study rooms if you need to make a conference call. There are computers in children's area as well as an area designated for quiet. The bathrooms are clean and the building has an elevator making it wheel chair accessible. There is not a parking lot, but street parking is free. Even if you aren't into books I highly recommend checking out this very cool treasure in bucks coun

The biggest surprise to me was the seed share program! The details are in my photos. There are also over 25 museum free passes that you can borrow. These can be reserved but must be picked up in person. You also must have your physical library card to pick up passes.

Founders donated some of their own book collection to start the library. On our tour, we were told of some of the books dating as far back as the 1500s! The library was run out of various locations/homes until money was raised and/or donated to construct the current location. James Sterling made a large donation with a request for a library to be built upon his death. This occurred with the help of the community and Julia Grant, wife of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, who lived in the area. Lots of cool events here, including wine tastings, ghost tours, and kids nights.
