Solidly built of white Vermont marble with immense rooms and corridors, this library has a history of serving working people, at one time open 365 days per year! More than a collection of books and materials, it is an impressive yet inviting community-gathering space. The original 1871 red brick library building, temporarily and ingeniously moved back 200 feet while the current building was under construction, is long gone. Today\u2019s building, an Andrew Carnegie Library, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The Rotunda was restored to its original elegance in 1998; the building is on the State Historic Register and is part of the Quadrangle-Mattoon Historic District in the City. Also solid is the history of the men and women who have guided the library. In 150 years only eight library directors have preceded the current director, Molly Fogarty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the history of the Central Library, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2025\/05\/CL-history-trifold-2024.pdf\">download our brochure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6wv3qAilxlA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch a video tour of the library here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/springfield.cwmars.org\/Search\/Results?lookfor=&amp;searchIndex=Keyword&amp;filter[]=format%3A%22Book%22&amp;filter[]=available_at%3A%22Springfield+Main+Library%22&amp;filter[]=local_time_since_added_SPRINGFIELD_MA%3A%222+Months%22&amp;sort=days_since_added+asc&amp;view=list&amp;searchSource=local\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2018\/05\/Bookicon-150x150.png\" alt=\"Search New Titles\" class=\"wp-image-10589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2018\/05\/Bookicon-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2018\/05\/Bookicon.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 85vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><center>New Titles<\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/support-your-library\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2018\/05\/Supporticon-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2018\/05\/Supporticon-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2018\/05\/Supporticon.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 85vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><center>Support Us<\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/springfield.librarycalendar.com\/events\/upcoming?branches%5B89%5D=89&amp;branches%5B90%5D=90&amp;branches%5B109%5D=109&amp;branches%5B191%5D=191\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2018\/05\/Calendaricon-150x150.png\" alt=\"Search Our Calendar\" class=\"wp-image-10590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2018\/05\/Calendaricon-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2018\/05\/Calendaricon.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 85vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><center>Central Library Events<\/center><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">News<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"su-posts su-posts-default-loop \">\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div id=\"su-post-38054\" class=\"su-post \">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"su-post-thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/seed-library\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2026\/03\/Website-Banner.png\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Graphic to promote Seed Library\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2026\/03\/Website-Banner.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2026\/03\/Website-Banner-300x88.png 300w, https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/assets\/2026\/03\/Website-Banner-768x225.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 60vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"su-post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.springfieldlibrary.org\/library\/seed-library\/\">Seed Library<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"su-post-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\tPosted: March 6, 2026\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"su-post-excerpt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>In 2026, Springfield City Library is adding a Seed Library to every Branch!
