The West Springfield library is one of the city's gems. It's amazing in every way. I was and still am overwhelmed by its awesomeness.
The architecture is gorgeous. The vibe is comfortable.
Most of the staff are courteous and helpful. Whenever I've had a question or issue, a staff member has not only been knowledgeable, but also friendly, thoughtful, and cool. It's great to see a team that genuinely loves their job. They add to the welcoming, warm, hip atmosphere of the library; especially the bibliophiles at the Adult Reference desk.
The art on display throughout the library is fun to gaze upon, especially since so many types are represented. I love the Hydration Station on the 1st floor (bring your water bottle).
The library sponsors an array of workshops for kids and adults. I've been to a few free classes. One on art, the other on aromatherapy. Both were stellar; something one would typically spend a lot of money on through any Adult Education program. It's not about the money here. It's about giving back, enlightening the community, and coming together.
