The goal of this guide to local libraries is to help you learn where area libraries are located, as well as become familiar with the city of St. Louis, so that it's easier for you to get an idea of how far a library is from campus or where you live. Remember that if you need a book immediately, but Washington University's libraries do not have an available copy, you can go to a local library to find it! If it is a library that participates in MOBIUS, make sure to bring your WashU ID card with you. If it is a public library, remember to make time to get a library card.
