About this organization
Mission
The St. Louis County Library Foundation is committed to enhance and enrich the library's educational and cultural mission by securing financial support beyond public funding, sponsoring programs and special projects, and serving as a library ambassador. The foundation serves the residents of St. Louis County, Missouri, and visitors from municipalities outside the county, in the twenty St. Louis County Library branches and two institutes.
About
A goal of the foundation is to enrich the library's educational mission. SLCL has partnered with six St. Louis area hospitals and clinics: St. Anthony's, SSM DePaul Health Center, St. Clare, Missouri Baptist, St. Mary's, St. Luke's, and Mercy Clinics. In 2018, every baby born at those hospitals receives a bag filled with a board book, a Cardinals beanie, a voucher for two Cardinals tickets, as well as information on early literacy and the St. Louis County Library. An invitation is tied onto the bag, and if parents fill out the card, the baby is invited back to the library around his/her first birthday for a celebration where he/she will receive another book to add to his/her personal library.
