St Louis County Library

This was the library I went to growing up and its exciting to see all the changes its going through.
Its not huge but it has a lower level for town meetings, etc. The book level is still laid out as it was when I was growing up. I like how they have their DVD’s organized, makes it a lot easier to search than some of the other branches.
They are the only branch I’ve seen so far that is using a computer generated return system. You slide the book in and it processes the return right there, where at the other branches you’re still leaving the on the counters or dropping the in the drop box.
Some of the staff is still there from years ago which makes the familiarity very nice.
I can’t wait to see if other branches follow in the steps of Daniel Boone.

I went yesterday for the book sale, thanks to a tip from Cherie O. When I walked in the main door, there was a sign that said «Book Fair» with a big arrow pointing down. I looked down. And saw the floor. Sometimes I’m just too literal for my own good.
So, I went back out to the alcove, but there are just restrooms and a drinking fountain there. .. no steps, no elevator.
Back in to the main library, where there was much hustle and bustle of normal library business, saw another alcove-​looking area, where I found stairs and an elevator.
OK, we’re in business. There were many rooms full of books in boxes. I didn’t get much in the way of categories or descriptions, so I just wandered around trying to find authors or types of books I read.
Most of what I saw were hardbacks, and I can’t repurpose those to the used bookstores I patronize, so I didn’t get anything. But there were lots of folks walking out with boxes of books.
