The Springfield-Greene County Library is opening a brand new branch... in Iraq.
It's not really a brand new library, but the workers in the district are trying to help our troops by giving them something to read.
The idea came from a library employee because her friend was serving overseas.
The district has collected several paperbacks to send over to help troops during their down-time.
"It just gives them an opportunity to kind of escape some of the stress they're under to be able to just open a book," said library employee Teresa Hernandez.
Library workers have collected a few dozen books to send overseas, but if you'd like to help them with their collection, you can drop off paperbacks to the Library Center on S. Campbell.
