Socrates Café:

Socrates Café is a group of individuals who like to talk. They get together and discuss what is on their minds, from something on the news that day to the age old questions of “What is…?" Socrates Café helps you learn how to think, not what to think. Does this sound interesting? Would you like to join a Socrates Café at the Library? The Free Library of Springfield hosts the Café regularly, and encourages you to join every Monday at 7:00 PM.
