Program Proposals
The Springfield-Greene County Library District participates in cooperative programs with other organizations, educational institutions, businesses and individuals. Library sponsorship of a program does not constitute an endorsement of the content of the program, views expressed at the program or the program presenter or performer.
Please note that the Library typically schedules library programming from four to six months in advance. Submitting a proposal is not a guarantee that you will be booked for a program. A Library staff person will contact you regarding your proposal within seven business days of submission.
