This new page requires sign in with your library card and will only display to patrons who match our eligibility requirements as indicated on your library account.

If you are not granted access to the page but believe that you should be, please contact the IT dept at (314) 821-5770, option 5 to verify that your library account is accurate.
* Library taxing districts do not always match those of schools or confine to city boundaries. Therefore it is possible you live in an area around Kirkwood or another MLC library but your library taxing district may belong to the county library.
