Improvements we are celebrating:

• Three additional public meeting spaces for 6-8 people. This is in response to community demand.
• A new larger teen area with separated spaces for focused study and socializing
• Improved accessibility and collections access
• A new flow for the Kids and Tweens area, including easier checkout near this area for adults watching busy children
• An expanded book sale nook supported by our Friends of the Springfield Library and Museum
• An improved, more efficient front service desk for staff to serve the public
