City officials, the Library foundation and locals gathered to cut the ribbon for the new East Forest Park Branch Library in Springfield, Massachusetts. The new library, which replaces a much smaller branch, has been eagerly anticipated by the community.
In addition to book collections, the library provides a new bright and open children’s room with a craft area to support children’s programs, meeting rooms for adult programs, a separate area for young adults, and a makerspace open to the entire community.
