VERY helpful staff will help find just about anything you need. The main branch library in downtown Springfield is amazing, a true oasis in a semi-dying city, but this branch is SO convenient, especially when you're running errands and need to either pick up or return some books or movies. Nice kids section, and LARGE music and books-on-tape selections as well-- Can't go wrong!! I like the easy-going 1 day "grace period" for overdue stuff.

When you go, sign in to the guest register and then head over to the greeter's desk. A greeter will take a couple of minutes to give you a little background about the building and how to best navigate the two floors of exhibits. The first floor was the more interesting of the two. There's plenty to look at, and it's presented very well. Be sure to walk all the way back to see the model recreation of the city streets of downtown Springfield during the 50s and 60s. The second floor isn't as full or as interesting but is worth the stairs or elevator ride up. Pro tip: Be sure to look up to the ceiling. There's almost as much to see up there and on the floor. No joke. Admission is a donation of your choice, but there's a suggested amount listed that is more than fair. If you are into history, go. It's one of Ohio's better history museums. A solid 5 stars.

We have gone every year for about 8 years I believe and although the decor doesn't change too much my grandkids are amazed each time. I grew up near this area and am happy to see as much of it preserved as possible. It's essentially free and no charge to take pictures with Santa. We leave a donation but it's optional and a lot of younger parents can appreciate they aren't charged outrageous amounts to see Santa. Also, this Santa is very authentic and believable for the kids. Really nice and very appreciated by my family each year.

Plus it smells much better than Other libraries I've used It's selection is fantastic, The librarians are sweet But even more impressive The computer screens are all clean There is a huge selection, Of books for kids and tots Plus programming and Lego nights And arts and crafts and other stuff but none of it rhymes with "tots," so I'll just say: Excellent library, helpful staff, great selection, fantastic for kids and teens, lots of use after school and good during the day to get work done - plus lovely little touches like a community puzzle and a constantly filled schedule of events. Note the hour difference between winter and summer.

I had a very disappointing experience at the Spark Place during a scheduled 4-6pm appointment…read more I booked time to complete sublimation projects (10 shirts and 5 mugs) and came prepared based on prior instructions. As someone new to sublimation, I expected at least some guidance. Instead, the manager (Doug) was not helpful when I asked how to properly size my design in Canva. I received vague, textbook-style answers, which led to nearly 40 minutes of frustrating trial and error. The biggest issue happened near the end of our session. We were told mug pressing had to be done by 5:45 PM. At 5:40, we had one mug left that was fully prepped and only needed a few minutes to finish. Despite clearly being able to complete everything on time, I was told I would need to reschedule a full two-hour session just to finish that last mug. When I calmly asked for clarification, the manager became dismissive and raised his voice, saying it was my fault and that I "didn't listen." This was said in front of others, including my 4-year-old daughter, and felt very belittling. He eventually said he would "make an exception," but only after speaking to me in an unprofessional manner. We did finish everything by 5:45 exactly, which made the situation even more frustrating. This is also the second negative interaction I've had with this same manager. The Spark Place has great potential and valuable resources, but the environment should be supportive and welcoming--especially for beginners. Unfortunately, this experience left a very bad impression.
