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 15 locations in a relatively small city of 61 square miles.

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.
