Decked out in flapper finery, 225 supporters of the St. Louis County Library Federation flocked to The Reverie STL for the library’s annual fundraiser. The event included a VIP cocktail hour, along with live jazz by Harvey Lockhart and the Collective, a flapper dance demonstration by U Can Dance Studio and South Side Dance Club, a live auction, and raffles. By the end of the evening, more than $230,000 had been raised that will be used to provide community-focused programming and resources like social workers, healthy food initiatives, teen internship opportunities, and literacy tools for all ages throughout SLCL's 20 branches.
