Ribbon Cutting and Speeches

Kirkwood Public Library will have its Grand Opening on Saturday August 14th beginning at 10 AM. There will be a ribbon cutting by the Kirkwood / Des Peres Area Chamber of Commerce. Several prominent community figures will celebrate the completion of the new Kirkwood Public Library. Join us as we cut the ribbon and stay to hear speeches by:

Randy Miltenberger - Former Board President and Building Committee Chair

Art McDonell - Mayor

The Friends of the Kirkwood Public Library new boutique - Books and Beyond - will also have a ribbon cutting.

Join your community in celebrating the new renovation of our library.
