The Library Station is the newest "destination library" in the Springfield-Greene County Library District. The 36,000-square-foot facility houses a large collection of print and electronic resources, a consumer law collection, an automotive repair collection and a local history and genealogy department. In addition, there is a fully equipped mobile computer lab, private study rooms, state-of-the-art reference technology and numerous other expanded services. The Library Station includes other amenities characteristic of larger, urban libraries. Those features include ten different configurations of meeting rooms, a large, comfortable reading room, a Between Friends Gift Shop and a Panera Bread café. The branch is located on North Kansas Expressway between Kearney Street and Interstate 44.
