Branch History

The Natural Bridge branch has a varied history. In 1951, The Natural Bridge branch opened at 6814 Natural Bridge Road as a full-service branch as well as Library headquarters. In 1960, the Library moved Headquarters to its present location at 1640 South Lindbergh Boulevard. The building was then used as the Natural Bridge Branch.

In May, 1992 construction began on a new building on property purchased from the Sisters of the Good Shepard. The building was designed by Manske Corporation and constructed by J.E. Novack. The new Natural Bridge Branch opened to the public on Monday, May 24, 1993.

The branch is 15,733 square feet with a glassed-in main room, and houses a variety of materials -books, magazines, CDs, videos, and DVDs. In fact, Natural Bridge owns around 60,000 items! Natural Bridge is a true neighborhood branch and community center. Residents check out materials or look at them at the branch. They use our public access computers and attend meetings in our rooms. And they come to one (or several!) of our popular children's or adult programs.
