Dear Library Patron, The arrival of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) in St. Louis is presenting the region with a rapidly changing scenario. We regret that all library programming between Monday, March 16 and April 3, 2020, will be suspended. We do not take these matters lightly because we know there will be a significant impact on the public, but we feel this is in the best interest of community health. Please visit www.slcl.org for more information.
