The renovated Bridgeton Trails Branch will reopen on June 13 at 9:00 a.m. as part of the Your Library Renewed campaign.
Construction on the Bridgeton Trails Branch began in October 2016 and is part of a multi-year, $120+ million campaign to renovate or replace 19 branches within the Library District.
When the Florissant Valley and Daniel Boone branches reopen later this year, their lower levels will be converted entirely to spaces for children, including new Discovery Zones. The Discovery Zones will make the branches true “destination locations” with engaging, interactive, educational, fun features as well as traditional library resources and programs.
The three branches currently closed for construction are making big progress! We expect to reopen the Bridgeton Trails and Florissant Valley branches this summer, the Daniel Boone Branch will reopen in the fall. Check out photos of the construction progress.
The Grand Glaize and Prairie Commons branches will be open on Sundays from 1:00-5:00 p.m. starting January 8, 2017. Currently, three branches are closed for construction, including two that offered Sunday hours. We're offering additional Sunday hours at Grand Glaize and Prairie Commons to help ease the inconvenience of these closures. Visit www.slcl.org/branches for additional information about hours and locations.

Three branches are now closed for construction: Bridgeton Trails, Daniel Boone and Florissant Valley. Closing a library is no small feat, but SLCL staffers have the process down to a science having closed and reopened 11 new or renovated library branches in the past two years.
The Your Library Renewed campaign has reached a major milestone! Eleven new and renovated branches are now complete, marking the end of Phase 1. Construction began in 2014, which means 11 projects were completed in just under two years.
