PROM @ SLPL
PROM @ SLPL celebrates the unique cultural relationship St. Louis has to the special four-year shared experience we all call “high school.” PROM @ SLPL consists of two components - a prom event and an exhibit at Central Library in 2023.
The “PROM Magazine: Where did you go to high school?” exhibit highlights St. Louis Public Library’s extensive collection of PROM Magazine.
Published from 1947-1973, PROM Magazine was produced “exclusively for the youth of Greater St. Louis” and represented all the high schools – public and private – of the area.
Join us for fun and friends at PROM!
Grab your high school besties, your powder blue tuxes and taffeta dresses and hit the dance floor at Central Library.
