The Library Station

This is our favorit library in town. Their kids section is great and the decor is fun and not stiff. They have a lot of kids stuff for them for free indoor play. Plenty of computers and good about getting your books and the staff have always been kind.

This is best library in my experiences. It's bigger and more convenient for me. (My only issue is. I just wished they had a section for people who don't have a laptop. To use that area instead of sitting at and taking up a whole table with a plugins. As most tables don't. Which makes it inconvenience for people who need to plug up their laptop like me. when their is only one person) and all their doing is looking at a phone. I just hope they fix this issue? In time we will see? For me personally at 11 am on Saturday 9-2-2023 I had to wait for 2 hours or more for a table with plug ins to be clear? For others may like other locations but this one is going to be the best library in Springfield, Mo. for me . To a point! The staff is really truly helpful and very nice and curiosity.

Replaced my 30 year old Library Card. The staff was friendly and helpful and I got 5 books to read to our 3 year old grandson.

The Library Station in Tom Watkins Neighborhood. Is hosting a Free Food Pantry for it's residents. I've tried some of the produce they offer and it's better than what you can get at most grocery stores around here because all the produce is home grown. Please only take what you need because it has to stretch across all Tom Watkins and surrounding neighborhoods.

This is a good place to sit and read or relax. Not a very big selection of materials, but still plenty. Sometimes if you sit at a table, you will sometimes get a dirty or sticky table. Staff are nice and helpful. Kind of wish there was more seating options, tend to come later on and find no where to set up or sit down. Also for the love of all that is good please fix the WiFi.
