About
Mission: The Langdon Public Library will perpetuate Woodbury Langdon’s interest in the intellectual welfare of the town and its people. The Langdon Library is committed to providing resources adequate to serve the varied needs of the patrons of Newington. Our goals are to furnish library patrons of all ages with a variety of informational resources, to assist members of the community in their educational and cultural endeavors, and to preserve the heritage of the library for current and future Newington residents.
For over a century, Langdon Library has served the town of Newington not only as the local resource for books and information, but also as an important center of community for the townspeople. And since its inception in 2008, this web site will attempt to serve to further the library’s mission in the Information Age of the 21st century.
Please come and visit us often, both online and in person!
