    I love the herb section! Great for my little garden. The game room was an unexpected bonus as well…read moreand I'm really happy with the variety of services. Being able to rent out kitchenware or other household appliances is such a game changer

    Architecturally an extraordinary space of light and height and airiness. When you first walk in…read morethere is a circular staircase leading up to a beautiful glass dome. But don't miss the gray spot on the floor directly beneath the dome which is the axis point for astonishing acoustics. Four floors. Spacious and bright. a comfortable place for reading.. but also so much more. The sitting/reading areas are filled with community members grateful for outlets to charge their phones and technology. There are puzzle tables set up on each floor and they were always occupied. Record player and LP collection. A "silent" electronic piano where someone was practicing with earphones on. Area to access assistive technology for patrons with more severe disabilities to facilitate communication. Also a braille printer. There was a teen area with comfortable chairs, free access to feminine hygiene products, computer gaming area. The proximity of the library to the bus station makes the library a welcoming space for teens who might need a break. The public library also partners with 15th Night, an intervention program that seeks to interrupt the problems leading to youth homelessness before it becomes a lifestyle. There's a snack bar in the foyer at the entrance to the library where tables permit patrons to enjoy a food and drink break. The library of things is a wonderful concept. It permits community members to borrow unusual items like metal detectors or shredder or bun pans in the shape of Harry Potter castle as well as Oregon state Park passes... And then return them when they're done. There's also a seed library that allows you to take seeds that have been brought in and take them home for planting. The children's book selection is extraordinary. And the spaces are comfortable and designed to accommodate children... including the largest enclosed outdoor space in Eugene so children don't have to feel that when they get to the library they are constrained by the requirement to be silent. The outdoor space has giant size Lincoln for building and benches for parents to sit. The area is also targeted for renovations and expansion to permit both families and classrooms to enjoy safer outdoor respite. Now easily one of my favorite places to spend time in Eugene

    it's a nice system in general. BUT: I'm an ebook reader and the Library has done an unfortunate…read morething with their change to making books available from its system only. This means very long wait times for their 1-2 copies of ebooks. Previously the system was part of an Oregon consortium which gave us access to multiple copies of ebooks held by libraries from most of the state. The waits were usually tolerable. I very much regret this change, especially since more and more people want ebooks. (https://www.opb.org/article/2025/03/05/oregon-libraries-see-growing-demand-for-digital-books/ ) Grr!

    Was visiting from out of town and brought our 11 month old to the library. They have a wonderful…read morechildren's section. The children's section of the library has its own family restrooms with changing table. Clean and very convenient for changing a baby. There is an entire section towards the back of the children's room that's purely a play area. The play area is filled with toys and great for little ones even under two years old. Our 11 month old spent an hour playing in the toy area and he had a blast. There's a busy board on the wall and all kinds of toys even appropriate for his age. I was blown away by the amount of toys. It's not the cleanest play area but definitely worth a visit if you have a little one. Of note, there seem to be a lot of homeless people in the area. There was a security guard at the library which was reassuring. Will definitely visit again if in the area.

    I have lived in Springfield for 9 years, and it took me the full 9 years before I even went into…read morethe public Springfield Library. I have been going to Barnes & Noble and spending a fortune on books. My friends got me to go into the Springfield library and sign up and get a library card. It is 100% free since I live within the city limits. I had no idea how far libraries have come since the days of being in school. You can order books online. You can read books online. You can have them brought out and get delivered to your car curbside. It was such an eye-opening experience of how much money I have been wasting buying books only to not finish reading them. The girls inside the library were so helpful and friendly, teaching me how to scan and bring back my own books if I'm in a hurry. I have had a great experience going to the Springfield Public Library. They have comfortable seating to read a book before you check it out. I had noticed several people there seeming to just relax and enjoy themselves. They have tables in the back for people who want to study. I noticed people with laptops, possibly doing homework or work. It was quiet and peaceful. I have found myself going to the Springfield Public Library twice a month now. On the plus side, I'm no longer spending money buying books that I can read for free. Great for the budget!

    5-stars for little kiddos! I'd heard from others that the Springfield library was better than…read moreEugene's as far as kids go, so I finally took our daughter (16 months) there yesterday to check it out. We were greeted by a very friendly guy named Mark, who explained all of the different sections and where to find age appropriate stuff for my daughter. He also gave us a little welcome bag with a free book! We are not members so we're unable to check out any books, but did explore what they had (loved the *giant* books available). Mostly, though, my daughter loved exploring all the different play areas, toys and the art table! There is definitely much more in the way of toys and entertainment for kids vs. Eugene. There is an enclosed play area for babies/toddlers that has squishy cushions, foam climbing structures, and bins of blocks and sturdy toys. There is also an area on the other side of the kids section with chairs and a little puppet theater, which you can play with on your own, but I also wonder if they have some sort of programs with it? We stayed for about an hour and she was happily entertained by books, the train set, coloring and some noisy shaky blocks. I'm sure we could have stayed even longer and explored more, but she was getting a little grumpy/hungry so had to get lunch. :) I'm sure we'll be back, and would highly recommend to parents who are looking for a fun place to take their kids--it's welcoming, clean, entertaining, free, and good in any weather.
