Piazza Imo On the Hill 2109 Marconi Ave, St. Louis, MO 63110…read moreThere is a beautiful fountain that makes this place a peaceful spot to meditate, or reflect on your day a quiet place to release your frustration. It is in the heart of the hill. Benches surround the fountain honoring famous local celebrities. This location is near St. Ambrose Catholic Church, The new restaurant Marconi Mercado and Milo's tavern a local watering hole. I found a bench honoring the mailman of the Hill Roland DiGregario . My father (Gene) was a great friend of Mr. DiGregario and spoke highly of him. My father and brother both were mailman. My brother later had a route on the Hill. So this bench opened up a few pleasant childhood memories I relish. After leaving, there is a gelato shop around the block with a great looking patio to enjoy. Visit the Hill for a great meal, beer, or reflect over a gelato.

Marketplace is one of the westmost City SLPL branches. There isn't a public restroom and I didn't notice space to study. What I saw and liked were friendly staff and a bright, efficient library. Plenty of reading and viewing materials here for an impulse checkout, and of course you can pick up holds sent from anywhere else in the system. Parking is a breeze and is bound to be so any day except St. Patrick's Day/parade days.

It's a small, bright space, very well organized with tons of books on display. There was a lady working near the DVDs and she greeted me. I only meant to check out the one DVD but picked up an armload of books by the time I reached the check out desk. The guy working the circulation desk was very friendly. I was on my way in just a couple minutes. It's good to know there's a library here, serving all different parts of the St. Louis community.

It was pretty busy and lots of people parking in front on the entry way to do book returns, I guess. The library was bright and clean inside. I just went and looked for a book, found what I needed, and did self-checkout. On my way out I noticed a table with diapers, spices, and paw paws. I wasn't sure what it was about, but I went back to the desk and asked the lady at the counter. The spices and the paw paws were free for the taking. I am not really familiar with Garam Masala, and it was a little packet stapled to pages with history, information, and recipes. So cool! I had also never tasted a paw paw before so I took one of those, too. Their sign indicated they were best eaten same day so I tried it when I got home, it was really good. I will have to see if my regular library has something like this.
