A connection to St. Louis, Mo..........the Spirit of St. Louis is hanging from the ceiling of the air and space museum here in DC but the spirit of the city still reaches far and wide.........

In 1959, a Film Library was established.^[22] This is not to be confused with the Vatican Film Library, which was established in 1953 at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri.

The Library has a large collection of texts related to Hinduism, with the oldest editions dating to 1819.^[23]

During the library's restoration between 2007 and 2010, all of the 70,000 volumes in the library were tagged with electronic chips to prevent theft.[
