Love Letters for the Library

Here in Springfield, we LOVE our Libraries. Springfield Libraries play a vital role in ensuring all residents have equal access to information. Libraries are meeting places, community centers, and resources for everyone.

In recognition of Valentine's Day, residents from across the Commonwealth are coming together to show libraries some love.

You can go to www.lovemasslibraries.com and upload Valentine videos and photo Valentines. It can be sorted by library. Valentines will also be shared with legislators to help raise awareness about the importance of funding libraries!

Pick up paper valentines at any Springfield City Library location in February to participate in the Love Letters For The Library challenge, or download directly from the site!

Join Springfield Thunderbirds hockey player, Anthony Angello, as he shares some of his favorite books with you. He’ll be joined by a teammate. We will have a scavenger hunt and an activity as well.
