Each level of the Forest Park Branch Library will soon be accessible to all, necessitating closing the branch until the end of October. Patrons may continue to use the book drop until June 29. During the construction phase please visit one of our other Springfield City Library locations, and, while you're there be sure and sign yourself and/or your children up for our Summer Reading Program. For additional information call Janet at 263-6828, ext. 422. Renovation Updates! Accessibility improvements are currently underway at the Forest Park Branch Library, now temporarily closed. Soon an inclined walkway will lead to a new exterior door on Oakland Street and a new lift for our patrons. The expected completion date is mid-October. Click on the images below for larger plans of the improvements! Attached are partial floor plans for accessibility improvements to the Forest Park Library. One shows the inclined walkway and exterior door on the Oakland Street facade (replacing an existing door) and the mid-level interior landing with stairs going up to the main floor and down to the bathrooms and community and the mid-level entrance to the lift. The second is a partial basement floor plan showing the basement lift entrance, the ramp into the community room, new drinking fountains, refitted bathrooms and a new and accessible unisex bathroom. The project is scheduled to begin in late June and be completed in mid to late October 2009.
