About the branch

Opened in 1940, the Ash Grove Branch Library is the oldest county branch of the Springfield-Greene County Library. The branch is located on the southeast corner of Main Street and Calhoun Street (Highway V) in the northwest Greene County town of Ash Grove. Thanks to its friendly staff, who know many patrons by name, the branch retains its small-town charm while providing up-to-date library service.
