Springfield Central Library

About

Since its opening in 1912, the Central Library, a “center of intellectual life,” has given vibrant character to the State Street corridor. The building, an Andrew Carnegie Library, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Central Library boasts large and varied collections, free wifi, and Internet access on public computers, plus many programs for children, teens and adults. Children’s storytimes, book groups, concerts, and free computer classes are among the most popular. Open during construction, the Central Library can currently only be accessed through the rear (quadrangle) entrance.
