Historical June 1982 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
The St. Louis City Library Board has tentatively approved a proposal to investigate the concept of a library porta-kiosk at the site of the present Des Peres Branch Library.
The existing library structure has been determined as too costly to return to its former use.
The porta-kiosk is a prefab structure with much open glass space which could accommodate 5,000 volumes of adults’ and children’s literature and requires only one staff member.
The Board will investigate cost, availability of this structure and time frame for completion before finalizing their decision.
