About Springville

​

On December 15, 1910, an official

request was signed by seven prominent

residents of Springville who agreed to

comply with the County requirements, to establish the Springville Library Deposit Station as of March 1911 in the Springville Hotel. Between 1912 and 1940 the Library moved 5 times, including the home of the Radeleff family. In 1940 the Library consisted of several shelves of fiction, a few children's books and a dictionary housed in the Shaw's Variety Store on Main Street.

 

When more space was found in the real estate building across the street, the Library moved there from 1947 until 1972. The Library moved again after the former Springville tuberculosis sanitarium on Highway 190 was converted into the Sequoia Dawn complex, space was offered to house the Springville Branch Library, 1972-2023. In 1992 through the generosity of the Springville Lyons Club, it received a remodel.

 

From 2023-2026, the Springville Chamber housed a Pop Up location during the construction of a new building. The New 3200 square foot Springville Branch Library opened in 2026, with art of David Richardson and dedicated to “Miss Virginia” Radeleff.
