The Newstead Public Library is located in the heart of the village of Akron. We are just a short walk from the historical Octagon House and village shops. At the Library you will always be greeted with a smile and a helpful hand. Many people doing genealogical research use our microfilm collection of local Akron newspapers, dating back to 1878. For the charm and feel of a hometown library, stop in and visit the Newstead Public Library.
