About Central Library:

Central Library, an architectural masterpiece designed by Cass Gilbert, opened to the public on January 6, 1912, after more than four years of construction. As Central Library neared 100 years of service, a remarkable group of St. Louisans worked together to restore and renew this great Library and prepare it for the digital world of the 21st century, all while preserving its historic beauty and continuing to make available its remarkable physical collections.

Central is within easy walking distance of many great restaurants, sporting events (St. Louis City SC, Cardinals, and Blues - whose archives are housed at SLPL), and entertainment venues.
