Overview: Supporting Your Library

The Friends of the Springfield Public Library and Springfield History Museum is a non-profit organization that focuses public attention on library and museum services, facilities, and needs.  Funds raised by the Friends events help to strengthen and expand library and museum services and stimulate the use of both facilities as resource centers for the entire community.

The Springfield Public Library Foundation secures financial opportunities and cultivates community relationships which grow essential and innovative library services and programs. Visit their webpage to learn more about how to support the library, and about how they support the Springfield community as a whole.
