Springfield Public Library

Help us grow our flower garden this summer when you visit the library! Visit our front display table and write the titles of books you have read over the summer on the roots, stems, leaves, and flower petals. We are adding these to our growing garden as folks Plant a Seed, and Read!

Our garden is starting to bloom!
