The Mason Square Branch Library is housed in the annex of the Urban League office building.
While the Mason Square Library has been condensed since the Springfield Library and Museums Association's 2003 sale of the original building to the Urban League, it maintains a collection of approximately 10,000 items and offers full circulation services, including offering system-wide holds and Interlibrary Loan (ILL).
Through collaboration with the Urban League of Springfield, the Library also maintains 8 public access Internet computers and provides preschool and public school class visits by appointment.
