The St. Louis Mercantile Library is the oldest library in continuous operation west of the Mississippi River. Held at the St. Louis Club, the event offered guests the opportunity to bid on unique auction items, such as a day aboard a working harbor boat or a printmaking workshop with Central Print. The showcase also gave rare book and print enthusiasts the chance to meet with a selection of local and national dealers.

VIP Guests: St. Louis Mercantile Library fine art curator Julie Dunn-Morton; great speaker Lilla Vekerdy, the head of special collections for the Smithsonian
