Springville Library: Expanding Our Knowledge

As most Springville citizens know, the library is becoming a bit outdated. There are leaks in the roof, and there is not enough room for new books. With the recent election, a new library was approved. The mission for a place where books can be read and respected was started.

“The biggest problem,” said Sheri Britsch, Springville Librarian, “is the space.” Which is true, there is no space for book displays, comfy chairs, or any other things that could make the library not just a place to pick out a book, but a place where a you would want to read that book as well.

The new library is planned to have more room for everything, from program rooms to more space for the staff to work, new equipment, and a space separate from the city building. Pam Vaughn, Library Director, hopes that it will be more inviting to families as a whole and individually.

“When you walk in it has a childish feel, which can make less inviting for people of an older age,” Vaughn said. Trying to make the library more likable to people of every age is a goal that they hope to reach. The library is an important part of the community and most can’t wait to see what it becomes.
