Springfield History
Springfield Memorial Library Marks Its 100th Anniversary
Springfield Memorial Library is proudly celebrating its one-hundred-year anniversary.
Established in 1926 by the Springfield Woman's Club, the library found its first home in a space
generously donated by Otto Joern within his grocery store building on Main Street.
The library was situated on the second floor of Joern's establishment.
Community members contributed books, while volunteers from the Springfield Woman's
Club dedicated their time to support the library's operations.
A library committee, comprising Miss Gertrude Smith, Miss Clara Mueller, Miss Stella
Starry, Mrs. Joe Elwell, and Mrs. Grover Armstrong, managed its governance.
After two years, thanks to the efforts of Mrs. C. R. Caley, the town board approved a one-mill
levy to fund the library's maintenance and appoint a librarian. The first official librarian was Mrs.
Rose Davis, who served in this role for five years.
v
The first Springfield Library was located on the second floor of the Otto
Joern’s building.

Fit Tip: Super Bowl Edition
Super Bowl food comes around once a year — so do you dive in?
That depends on your goal.
If you’re in balance mode, enjoy it. If you’re locked in, be mindful.
The biggest trap isn’t the wings or the chili — it’s the unnoticeable snacking. A handful here, a bite there, every commercial break… that adds up fast.
Think like a football play: be intentional.
Make a plate. Sit down. Enjoy it. Then move on.
One game. One night. One plan. Play it smart.

Super Bowl Trivia!
The very first Super Bowl was played on January 15, 1967, between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs, with the Packers winning 35–10. Fun fact: it was officially called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game at the time. The name “Super Bowl” was coined by Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, inspired by his kids’ “Super Ball” toy, and became the official name by Super Bowl III in 1969!
