Library of Things Spotlight:

Board Games

The Kirkwood Public Library has many items you can borrow from books to movies, magazines to music. We also loan out a variety of non-traditional library items. We refer to these items as the Library of Things. Each month, we will be highlighting parts of this collection.

Featured in April are our collection of board games. Board games, in some form or fashion have been around for thousands of years. Many of us grew up on games like Monopoly and Sorry. Today, there are so many options it blows the mind.

So what to do when you have a game you want to try but are not sure it is worth the money? Maybe its your turn to pick for family game night and you are tired of the same old games. Well, fear not! Kirkwood Public Library has a selection of games both classic and new. So, why not stop on by and pick one out. We have board games such as:

• Scrabble
• Tacos v. Burritos
• Labyrinth (one of this author's personal favorites)
• Exploding Kittens
• Apples to Apples

View our entire collection of board games here. And while our selection of board games is not comprehensive, we welcome suggestions for new additions to the collection. You can use the contact forms on our website to make a suggestion to the Technology dept.

Music in the Library

The St. Louis Vocal Project

Music in the Library is proud to present the St. Louis Vocal Project on Sunday, April 7th at 2 PM on the main floor of the library.

The St. Louis Vocal Project is a community-based women's chorus affiliated with Harmony Incorporated.  They sing a cappella music in the barbershop style. Harmony Incorporated's mission is to empower all women through education, friendship, and singing.

The St. Louis Vocal Project believes that harmony is more than a chord that rings.  Harmony is agreement - the bond that happens when talented women come together as a community, to celebrate internal calm and and a joyful spirit.  Harmony is balance and blend - vocally, emotionally and spiritually.
