🎃 Readers beware, this library is haunted! Brave little ghouls and goblins ages 3–8 can make their way through our not-so-scary haunted house and enjoy a sweet treat. Costumes are welcome! Join us from 1–3 p.m. on October 31 at Buder Library for some Halloween fun! 👻

From 1934-1983, St. Louis taverns could not sell beer or liquor on Election Day until half an hour after the polls closed. The law was scrapped when an election fell on Opening Day of the baseball season. #FridayFact

#ThrowbackThursday to the 1970s! A group of young readers gathered around, diving into stories and sharing laughs. Decades later, the library continues to be a fun, safe and inviting place for kids to explore books, spark their imagination and make new friends.
