The Library Foundation

Every corner of the new St. Johns Library tells a story. 📚🎨

From Victor Trejo's colorful Alebrije sculptures outside to David Rice's teen mural celebrating friendship and community to Carson Ellis' enchanting Forest Park-inspired world in the children's area, the art defines the new St. Johns Library. It melds shared ideas and values from the community to illustrate the vibrant neighborhood surrounding the library.

Like the books on the shelves, these works invite us to wonder, imagine, and see the world through someone else's eyes, reminding us that art and stories live all around us.

A place to study, hang out, and just be with friends.

The new teen room at St. Johns Library gives teens an accessible, welcoming space to connect with friends, get creative, and take a break from the hustle of school and home at no cost. ✨

This dedicated teen space was made possible through gifts to The Library Foundation, helping create more places where young people can belong.
