New Chesterfield Branch Announced | St. Louis County Library

Branch Construction Closure

The Guy and Judy Jaffe Family Branch (formerly Samuel C. Sachs Branch) is closed for construction. Patron holds are being sent to the Thornhill Branch. Visit Your Library Renewed for updates.

St. Louis County Library will begin construction on a new Chesterfield Branch in February 2026. The new Guy and Judy Jaffe Family Branch will be built on the current site of the Samuel C. Sachs Branch, which will close to the public on January 31. The new branch is the first in the SLCL system to feature a coffee shop, in partnership with Goshen Coffee Roasters. The new branch will be named after Guy Jaffe and Judy Schwartz Jaffe, who donated $1 million to the project. The new branch is expected to open in 2027.
