About SLPL:

St. Louis Public Library is a true urban library, representing the historic center of the St. Louis region: the City of St. Louis.  With its roots in the mid-1800s, St. Louis Public Library has a long history of innovation and service, a large and historic collection including rare books and extensive special collections, and a diverse and dedicated staff.  Our technology is a major resource throughout the City and beyond, and the Library makes an enormous investment in technology annually to keep them state of the art. We operate 17 locations in a relatively small city of 61 square miles.  These range from magnificent Central Library – one of the world’s great public libraries – to regional and neighborhood libraries that vary in size and design but are centerpieces in their communities.  St. Louis was an early, passionate supporter of library services to children, and that remains a core value and mission.  Outreach into our varied communities, marketing the Library’s remarkable strengths, and working with civic and cultural partners to benefit St. Louisans are all closely held values and goals at the Library.  

About Central Library:

Central Library, an architectural masterpiece designed by Cass Gilbert, opened to the public on January 6, 1912, after more than four years of construction. As Central Library neared 100 years of service, a remarkable group of St. Louisans worked together to restore and renew this great Library and prepare it for the digital world of the 21st century, all while preserving its historic beauty and continuing to make available its remarkable physical collections. 

About downtown St. Louis:

Central Library is located in downtown St. Louis, and is surrounded by other notable architecture and cultural destinations. Central is also within easy walking distance of many great restaurants, sporting (Cardinals and Blues - whose archives are housed at SLPL) and entertainment venues.
