The
South Londonderry Free Library was first organized on a cold
February night in 1902 at the home of the Honorable and Mrs.
Addison J. Cudworth, now the Three Clock Inn. Judge Cudworth
authored the History of Londonderry and it is still a prized
possession on our shelves.
Over the years the library evolved from a room at the Cudworth's
house to the Sifter Building and then to Lizzie MacAllister's residence,
the library's present home - located at 15 Old School Street in
South Londonderry.

our entrance!
Recent
renovations have included enclosing the breezeway and creating
comfortable rooms upstairs. There you will find books-for-sale
at modest prices, the travel collection and a quiet place
to read. Thanks to a grant from the Freeman Foundation
another room was renovated for young adults and includes
a TV with a VCR, a compact disc and tape player, games
and books of interest to teenagers.

there are 5 computers with internet access. The library
purchased a router that enables anyone with a laptop with
a wireless card to have free Internet access anywhere on
library grounds. Children's computer was donated by IBM and
