Newburyport Athenaeum – Our Resource Library

In 1809 Parsons and Lowell formed the Newburyport Athenaeum for “the purpose of promoting learning and diffusing useful knowledge by establishing a repository for valuable and rare productions in the various arts, sciences and literature.” NCM Hub values local history and today brings this historic Athenaeum back to life as a media resource library with the same purpose – to promote learning. Through this “members only” library, members will have access media equipment, books, manuals, workshops – resources that we hope will encourage citizen engagement and information sharing.
