Join Tulare County Library to celebrate the start of construction for the new Springville Branch Library. The Groundbreaking Celebration will be held Monday, September 16, at 11:00 a.m. at 35697 Highway 190, Springville, CA. Down the street from the old Springville Branch Library, the event will recount the road to bringing this new branch location to Springville with Supervisor Dennis Townsend, the Springville Chamber of Commerce, and Darla Wegener, County Librarian. With shovels in hand, together we will break the ground on this project.

Tulare County Library and Capital projects are working with AP Architects and AMG & Associates general contractor to design and develop the 3,200 square foot branch library. This is over 1,000 square feet larger than the old Springville Branch Library. In addition to the traditional library areas, the new branch will include a community room with an outdoor patio available to the public during open hours when meetings or events are not scheduled. In addition to new furniture, the new branch will house books, DVDs, magazines, and computers to assist the Springville community with their informational, recreational, self-educational, and cultural needs.

During construction, Tulare County Library’s Springville Branch Pop Up at the Springville Chamber of Commerce, 35625 CA-190, STE 101, is open Thursday and Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Library Staff is there to assist with library cards, holds, limited browsing, check outs, and returns. Request holds on the website at www.tularecountylibrary.org. Click catalog, login into your account, search for item, place hold, and select “Springville Branch Library” as the Pickup Library. Call Lindsay Branch Library at (559) 562-3021 for assistance.
