Access to Knowledge
Libraries used to be boring. Libraries today are different—especially the libraries in Springfield Public Schools (SPS). Our libraries are not simply repositories for books, they are hubs with a wide array of activities that help students explore their interests, build better reading habits, and find a welcoming space to make connections with others. However, if you pay close attention, what makes our libraries especial are the people taking care of these precious spaces; our library managers serve all students and provide access to knowledge, every day.
