Welcome warm weather and hot reads!
Perhaps it is because I am growing older, but the winters seem so much longer and colder that these first warm days of Spring bring a renewed sense of excitement and energy for gardening, reading, connecting and celebrating.  In this edition of Springfield Library's newsletter, we are offering programs that have something for everyone from birth to mature years and we hope you find time to partake one of our programs or visit the branch to borrow resources that will rejuvenate you, including our FREE Seed Library!
 
We are winding down our regular programming in late May as we gear up for our TD Summer Reading Club.  Have children under the age of 13 in your life...stay tuned for information about our upcoming programs and events in Summer 2023.  Have teens looking for volunteer hours...call the branch for information about how to become a student volunteer.  We look forward to seeing you in the branch soon!
 
Happy Reading,
Leah, Colleen, Vicki, Rebecca, Maria & Alexa
