Library Express Opens Feb. 6; Senior Socials Offered at Two Locations
The newest library service in the state of Missouri opens Wednesday, Feb. 6, in our community: a 24-hour kiosk that dispenses books, movies, music CDs and audiobooks with the swipe of a library card.
The Library Express West, a freestanding kiosk, will officially open at 10 a.m. Wednesday on the parking lot of Orchard Plaza, 3872 W. Chestnut Expressway. Drop by during the grand opening and sign up for a library card if you’re a Greene County resident or property owner and try out the new convenience.
Feel free to browse the collection, or use thelibrary.org/catalog to request items be sent there for pick up by clicking on the location “Springfield-Library Express West.” As you do with other requested items, you will be notified when it’s there for you to check out.
