The Newtown Square Business Association was formed in May of 1976 by a group of local business people who recognized the need for coordinated action on behalf of the business community. The organization is governed by the Constitution and By-Laws created in 1976, and officers are elected annually from the membership at large. NSBA has filed articles of Incorporation with the State of Pennsylvania, and has been granted non-profit status by the IRS. Its purpose is to act in the best interests of all members and to engage in such activities that would lead to the improvement and encouragement of doing business in Newtown Square.

The mission of the Newtown Public Library is to encourage the joy of reading, the exploration of ideas, and the pursuit of lifelong learning for all.

After a resolution passed by the Supervisors of Newtown Township in August 1973, the Newtown Public Library opened on July 15, 1974 at 3129 West Chester Pike with 3,000 books in a 500 square feet space. Less than two years later, the library moved to the Acme Shopping Center where it operated for over 25 years.

After a great effort by volunteers, the current 9,000 sq. foot library was built and opened in 2003. The library has seen many changes throughout the years but continues to grow with the community.

Newtown Township is privileged to serve over 12,000 residents. Their excellent business base with headquarters for businesses such as SAP, Project Management Institute, Apple Vacations, Boiron, most recently Equus Capital Partners and coming soon AmeriHealth complement our local business association which together have continued to be a strong economic driver in the region. They are proud of their neighborhoods with quaint cottages as well as large estates which foster the family friendly community valued by all. Activities such as little league baseball, youth soccer and lacrosse and Petticoat softball for the young, children reading programs and senior and historical presentations. There are always many outlets for entertainment and service in Newtown Township. Visit their Library and township building, walk their parks or contact a Supervisor to volunteer for a board or just to talk about ideas. This is what makes Newtown a strong and tight woven tapestry of people of which they are all very proud!
