St. Louis Kids Book Club

St. Louis Kids Book Club

Second Thursday of Each Month | 6 p.m. | St. Louis County Library Branches

Each month, St. Louis Magazine invites parents and kids to come together for a shared experience centered on community, early literacy, and kid-friendly fun for the St. Louis Kids Book Club, presented by PNC and The Clark Family, and hosted by St. Louis County Library. Families are welcomed into different library branches to explore stories, play, and connect.

Each event features a thoughtfully selected book, a brief librarian-led read aloud, and a simple hands-on activity. After the program, families are encouraged to explore the library, discover branch offerings, and build lasting habits focused reading and learning together. St. Louis Kids Book Club is recommended for ages 3–8. Attendance is free, and advanced registration is required for all children.
