Great library! Me and the kids love going here and everyone is super helpful! There's also a lot of out of the box things you can check out besides books like fishing poles and garden seeds. Fantastic part of the community!
Excellent selection, easy to use website for placing holds as well. I recently started checking out audiobooks via Libby as well and that's a wonderful service.
Excellent library that has NOT been gutted like the St. Louis County library system has. There are plenty of recently published books, but they have also KEPT books from other decades, as is the actual purpose of a library. Many people will appreciate their borrowing policies which include automatic renewals and a long borrowing period. Clearly they are not making their money on book fines. It's also a pleasant, quiet place to read and study. Although it's not the biggest library, it might have one of the biggest book collections in St. Louis at this point.
Spacious, great features, lots of natural lighting
Beautiful building. Knowledgeable staff. It's a well-run institution. But, covid restrictions not in place currently 10/2022
A small town library is what you might expect for Webster groves, but prepare to be amazed. The 2nd floor is home to the children's section that's full of books and computers staffed with knowledgeable fun loving librarians. A large main level has young adult and up books from fanasty to fiction. Need reference or biography, travel downstairs and a librarian will set you up right. Need a computer, the basement is the place to be. For a small town library, it sure is big. The best part, is the small town hospitality happy to help. Stop in if your in the area, find out for yourself.
Good selection, helpful staff. Surprisingly excellent comic section. Other libraries in the system specialize in different types of collections, so if there's something you want that they don't carry, there's a good chance you can get it with a bit of a wait.
What can I say? They have good hours and friendly staff. I used to go in here just about every day. There's been some controversy in the past about their spendthrift ways they bought a house for the land to use for expansion but then decided they didn't need it and then a contractor who walked off the job, but they got their act together and now they have a great new library.
I love this library, even though it is small compared to where I usually go, it is still amazing. They have great quiet places to work on homework and projects together with multiple people.
Great little library. Very clean. Everything is set up for social distancing and most sit down areas are closed.
