Community Partnerships

The St. Charles City-County Library has joined together with St. Louis County and St. Louis Public Library to provide hospitals with welcome bags for newborns and their families.

Each bag contains a board book, an information card with a variety of ways to build literacy skills from birth, and a special Born to Read Library card.

Families are encouraged to activate the new Born to Read Library card at their nearest branch.

This is a Library to You Service provided by the Library's Outreach team and made possible by the generous support of the St. Charles City-County Library Foundation.

Starting August 1, 2024 the St. Charles City-County Library is partnering with the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank to provide families in need with a supply of diapers each month.

This service is intended for families at 200% of the poverty level or below. Eligible families can pick up a pre-packaged set of diapers once a month for each child in their immediate household.

Sizes available: Newborn - size 6 and training pants 2T - 4T.
Pick up location: The Commons at Spencer Road (2nd floor of the Library), 427 Spencer Rd, St. Peters, MO 63376
Hours: Thursdays from 9 am - 1 pm and the first Saturday of the month from Noon - 4 pm.

Diapers are available while supplies last.

This initiative was made possible by the Friends of the St. Charles City-County Library and the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank.
