Safe Place
All 20 branches of St. Louis County Library are designated Safe Places. The designation allows a young person in crisis to begin the process of receiving help at any of our branches. Those in need can contact a library staff person, who will then contact a trained Safe Place volunteer.
As a collaborative community prevention initiative, Safe Place designates businesses and organizations as Safe Place locations, making help readily available to youth in communities across the country. Safe Place locations include: libraries, YMCAs, fire stations, public buses, various businesses, and social service facilities. You can learn more at www.nationalsafeplace.org.
