Excellent library that has NOT been gutted like the St. Louis County library system has. There are plenty of recently published books, but they have also KEPT books from other decades, as is the actual purpose of a library. Many people will appreciate their borrowing policies which include automatic renewals and a long borrowing period. (Clearly they are not making their money on book fines.) It's also a pleasant, quiet place to read and study. Although it's not the biggest library, it might have one of the biggest book collections in St. Louis at this point.
