Springfield Memorial Library received a "Picturing America" grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Forty large high quality reproductions of selected masterpieces were awarded to grant receipients. The library is displaying a work of art from this collection of prints in our entryway. We plan to display each work of art throughout the coming months. For more information on this exciting project, log on here : http://picturingamerica.neh.gov/index.php?sec=home

Springfield Memorial Library Building for the Future
Springfield Memorial Library Foundation is campaigning to raise funds needed to enhance the current library building. An addition will be added to the south side of the Library's main room. If all goes according to plan, the Foundation hopes to commence construction in approximately five to seven years. Donations may be made to the Library's Foundation building campaign by contacting the library for the necessary information. All contributions are tax deductible.
A "Feed the Pig" campaign is now ongoing at the library to help build the new addition. We hope to collect a million pennies in our Feed the Pig jar. (All other change is welcome too!!!)
The Library's Book Club meets every second Monday of the month. All books are provided for reading and discussion. If you are interested in joining this group of "Book Lovers", please contact the library.
