When I pulled up to this library I was already impressed. It's so spacious with a thought out,…read morefunctional design that makes sense for a large library. The cafe space is no longer in use by the coffee cafe but this library still has a lot going for it. There are multiple meeting/ community rooms and reading lounges. The children's library is huge and every librarian that I spoke with was so helpful and nice. Desks, tables and armchairs are all over the place. It's wonderful here.

My visit started out fine. A kind employee helped me locate a pencil sharpener. However, around…read more4:30 pm today, an EMS crew with a stretcher hovered around a woman sitting at a computer. She hadn't been bothering anyone, making sounds, or causing any issues. She was just sitting there. They proceeded to ask her questions about how she was feeling, what day it was, etc. She was talking coherently but the three EMS employees and a library employee had her circled for at least 15 minutes after taking her vitals and wouldn't leave her alone. Obviously I don't know what happened. But I saw them wheel her into the ambulance. Beware if you're having an off day, or act a little eccentric. You may end up taking a thousands-of-dollars little ride if you don't answer questions to someone else's liking. Disturbing and uncalled for.

This is a nice, small library nestled right inside a neighborhood not far from Battlefield Mall…read more The layout in the entry way is awkward in that the New Book section is right inside the entrance basically. A huge plus to this location is there is so much seating. Desks with swivel trays for your laptop, loveseats, armchairs, table seats and even a few bistro tables. They are scattered around in many different sections of the library. Some of the books are literally jam packed onto the shelves. This might be due to the fact that this is a smaller location. A cool feature that I like and took advantage of is the small snack bar/ convenience store that sells potato chips, candy bars, t- shirts, notebooks and other items. That's pretty neat.

The people are charming, they have copy machine, Internet access, children's room, meeting room and are right across from the park! Another small town gem in our beloved Ozark.

I'm normally a fan of this library, but left in disbelief today. The taller lady that was working…read moreat the side drive by window literally chased me down all the way to the back bookshelves to tell me to put my mask over my nose. I can understand this, but I was by myself with no one around, the library wasn't very busy at all! Just thought she would have more important things to do than power-tripping and trying to usurp authority over patrons. Incredulously, she did not have a mask over her nose either. She was wearing a plastic face shield. I assure you the breath from her nose was escaping .

Personally, I'm a very big fan of books and also of food so this library location is wonderful…read more It's in the same shopping strip as Panera and just on the other side is a McAlister's Deli and then a Braum's on the other side. The library is spacious and well designed with a dedicated teen area and there's also a children's library and a separate reading "room". For those who need them, there are plenty of computers throughout. I love the library and so far, have been to libraries in 6 different states and I'm so impressed and pleased with Springfield's library designs, so much valuable space for public use and all of the programs offered.

What a neat library. It's pretty cool on the inside, very clean and lots to see. There's plenty of…read morecomputers, tables, seats and books. We really enjoyed checking out a few books. The children's area was super neat, they have a train over the top going around and super spacious. The people around seemed to appreciate and respect the library. Their shop was closed today but it seemed to have lots of neat things. Usually you can walk to Panera bread from the inside but it's currently closed at the time. The staff is very helpful and very friendly.

Being right in the center of downtown makes it convenient for anybody who rides the bus plus it's surrounded by soo many food places.

This happened the other night when I was in the library with my laptop, and the librarian said they would have to request a new key the next day.

I've taken computer classes there, been coached in the use of their 3-D printer, and assembled important papers via their printer, scanner and Fax machines.

If it's the same as I remember, and it's been a few years since I've visited, there's a coffee bar that's pretty good.
