Architecturally an extraordinary space of light and height and airiness. When you first walk in…read morethere is a circular staircase leading up to a beautiful glass dome. But don't miss the gray spot on the floor directly beneath the dome which is the axis point for astonishing acoustics. Four floors. Spacious and bright. a comfortable place for reading.. but also so much more. The sitting/reading areas are filled with community members grateful for outlets to charge their phones and technology. There are puzzle tables set up on each floor and they were always occupied. Record player and LP collection. A "silent" electronic piano where someone was practicing with earphones on. Area to access assistive technology for patrons with more severe disabilities to facilitate communication. Also a braille printer. There was a teen area with comfortable chairs, free access to feminine hygiene products, computer gaming area. The proximity of the library to the bus station makes the library a welcoming space for teens who might need a break. The public library also partners with 15th Night, an intervention program that seeks to interrupt the problems leading to youth homelessness before it becomes a lifestyle. There's a snack bar in the foyer at the entrance to the library where tables permit patrons to enjoy a food and drink break. The library of things is a wonderful concept. It permits community members to borrow unusual items like metal detectors or shredder or bun pans in the shape of Harry Potter castle as well as Oregon state Park passes... And then return them when they're done. There's also a seed library that allows you to take seeds that have been brought in and take them home for planting. The children's book selection is extraordinary. And the spaces are comfortable and designed to accommodate children... including the largest enclosed outdoor space in Eugene so children don't have to feel that when they get to the library they are constrained by the requirement to be silent. The outdoor space has giant size Lincoln for building and benches for parents to sit. The area is also targeted for renovations and expansion to permit both families and classrooms to enjoy safer outdoor respite. Now easily one of my favorite places to spend time in Eugene

I have been going to Barnes & Noble and spending a fortune on books. My friends got me to go into the Springfield library and sign up and get a library card. It is 100% free since I live within the city limits. I had no idea how far libraries have come since the days of being in school. You can order books online. You can read books online. You can have them brought out and get delivered to your car curbside. It was such an eye-opening experience of how much money I have been wasting buying books only to not finish reading them. The girls inside the library were so helpful and friendly, teaching me how to scan and bring back my own books if I'm in a hurry. I have had a great experience going to the Springfield Public Library. They have comfortable seating to read a book before you check it out. I had noticed several people there seeming to just relax and enjoy themselves. They have tables in the back for people who want to study. I noticed people with laptops, possibly doing homework or work. It was quiet and peaceful. I have found myself going to the Springfield Public Library twice a month now. On the plus side, I'm no longer spending money buying books that I can read for free. Great for the budget!

Adorable library with a great children's librarian (as of April 2024). I was home visiting my…read morefamily and friends and while here decided to check out the storytime at the library since that's a favorite activity of ours in Chicago. The branch is very small--it's basically one room--so the children's area is smaller and it was packed to the gills. There were 15-20 families here. We sang songs and listened to a couple stories, and the librarian was very animated and engaging. After the stories and songs portion ended, they brought out some toys for the children to play with. And we were given a "welcome baby bag" since we had not been to storytime before, which included a couple of egg shakers, a couple of teething rings, and a small bilingual board book. Cool to get a little welcome gift from the library. This branch was once a Wells Fargo so it has an interesting library/bank combo bank thing going on since there's a working ATM still located on the south side of the building. Inside, the bank remnant that remains (at least the obvious one to patrons) is the vault, which is now the Teen Vault. That's such a fun idea; there's a table in there, some bean bag type chairs, games, a white board asking for ideas for what the teens want to see at the library, and a comfort cabinet that contains things like toothbrushes, pads, lotion, condoms and dental dams, chapstick, etc. Really thoughtful touches, which I'm sure help a lot of local kids. The branch is an official voting drop off location, so if you drive around where the bank's drive-up window once was you'll see there's a big white ballot drop-off there. The library's book drop-off is here as well. There's plenty of parking since this branch has a small lot in front plus it's next to the grocery and pizza place so there's a huge parking lot.
