St. Louis County Library is pleased to announce the grand opening of the new Clark Family Branch, located at 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd. On Tuesday, July 9, an official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Clark Family Branch will be held at 9:00 a.m. and the entire branch will open to the public immediately following.
The Clark Family Branch is a stunning, two-story building, encompassing 74,000 square feet. The branch replaced the former Headquarters building, and is now the largest branch in the St. Louis County Library District. The branch is named after Bob Clark, Executive Chairman & Founder of Clayco, who donated $4 million to the project in 2022. The building was designed by Lamar Johnson Collaborative. The Clark Family Branch offers something for everyone. The first floor features two fireplaces, comfortable seating, a large browsing collection, and a collection of art on display from the Kranzberg Arts Foundation. Upstairs, the large, brightly colored children’s space, sponsored by Stephany and Richard Kniep, features a large playhouse, a fire engine, and other interactive learning activities such as light tables and a magnetic gear wall. Two large touch screens will offer educational games and activities. There are reading nooks where kids can curl up with a book, and other cozy seating throughout the space.
