Mayor's Welcome

     Welcome to Lincoln Library’s Web site – the place to start your search for the information you need and the books you want to read.
     Whether you walk in through the front doors or arrive virtually through the Internet, you will find that the public library is more than just books and information. It’s the place to do genealogical or local history research in the Sangamon Valley Collection, to use unique electronic resources, to borrow an audiobook or compact disc for your next car trip, to pick up a movie for the weekend, to hear your favorite story, to check your email, to photocopy important papers, to hop on the library’s wireless network with your laptop, to explore your college options through the College Assistance Program (CAP), to attend a meeting of a local civic group, and to share your thoughts about that great book you just finished reading. Lincoln Library is a 21st century facility designed for a 21st century community, committed to meeting customers’ needs for information, lifelong learning and the simple pleasure of reading. Make it your destination for reference, research, reading and relaxing.

Timothy J. Davlin, Mayor
City of Springfield
