The Des Peres Branch Library, 5960 Kingsbury Avenue, will again present a series of recent, feature-length motion pictures, beginning Thursday, January 21, 1970 at 6:15 p.m. It is hoped that with an earlier starting time and a guard on duty, we will have better attendance than previously.

Due to several recent, but minor, incidents, it has been necessary to employ a guard at the Des Peres Branch Library — 5960 Kingsbury.
Patrons, who were formerly wary of visiting the library during evening hours are now encouraged to do so and to bring their children. Residents who are aware that their children are merely loitering in the library and disrupting service are asked to keep them away.
The Wells Fargo guard will remain stationed at the library until a full-time guard can be employed by the library system.
