New and expanded Library hours begin Sunday, July 18. Details
Join us for an evening of ghostly tales, folk ballads and crankies presented by local artists Sandi Green-Baker and Andrew Baker-Dietz.
The storied history of the Ozarks, with its remote hollers and haunting ghost towns, has long inspired tales of specters and strange characters, from ghostly brides to devilish Bald knobbers. Join local artists, including Sandi Green-Baker and Andrew Baker-Dietz, for a multi-media evening featuring ghostly tales, folk ballads and crankies — a century-old storytelling tradition using music, theatrics and art. This Oh, the Horror! event is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
The Library Center is the headquarters of the Springfield-Greene County Library District. The 82,000-square-foot building houses major collections of print and electronic resources. These include special collections such as business and local history and genealogy; public Wi-Fi computers, four private study rooms, five small conference rooms, a kitchen and state-of-the-art reference technology. In addition, the Library Center includes other amenities characteristic of larger urban libraries. Those features include a 150-seat auditorium, a glass-enclosed reading room and art gallery, a story hour room, outdoor patio and outdoor story garden and the Between Friends Gift Shop.
