Neighborhood Preservation: Having a dispute with a neighbor/tenant/landlord or know someone in this situation? We all want things to end peacefully and sometimes, extra help can make all the difference. Neighbor mediation connects conflicting parties with impartial, professionally trained volunteers to resolve disputes-such as noise, pets, property lines, etc.-without taking legal action.

Services are available in the St. Louis area that offer mediation services for neighbor disputes, along with other conflicts: Conflict Resolution Center, Community Mediation Services of St. Louis, and the St. Louis Mediation Project.


Neighborhood Safety: Shred sensitive documents: Destroy medical bills, credit card statements, and pre-approved credit offers before throwing them away. This protects your identity, your safety, your bank account, and potential headaches. Also, shredding old documents keeps your house organized, decluttered, and reduces fire hazards.

STL Summer Adventure:  St. Louis County Library and St. Louis Public Library are teaming up to offer STL Summer Adventure from June 1-August 10. The program invites youth ages 0-17 to go on an adventure with a variety of activities in the themes Unearth a Story, Around the World, Out of this World, Imagination and Reading. Participants who complete any 10 activities will earn a prize and be entered into a grand prize raffle. Everyone who signs up will receive a free book at registration. Learn more.


Neighborhood Preservation:  Keep your house cool without overworking your AC.

  • Make sure ceiling fans are running counter-clockwise

  • Keep drapes closed during the day, especially on the south and west side of your house

  • Avoid using your oven: grill outside or plan cold meals

  • Change your AC filter

  • Plant shade trees on the south and west side of your house


Neighborhood Safety: A credit freeze (or security freeze) restricts access to your credit report, preventing new accounts from being opened in your name, making it a key tool against identity theft. It is free, does not impact credit scores, and lasts until you remove it. You must contact all three major bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—individually to freeze your credit. You can place a freeze online, by phone, or by mail with each bureau. Online is fastest.

Library News: St. Louis County Library is celebrating Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May! There are programs scheduled for all ages including scavenger hunts, book and film discussions, cooking demonstrations, art programs, and more! Learn more here. As of 2024–2025 US Census estimates, Asian residents make up approximately 5% of St. Louis County's population, with the broader Asian and Pacific Islander community growing by 37% over the past ten years making it one of the fastest growing demographics. Learn more here.


Neighborhood Preservation: Examine the address numbers on your home. Are they clearly visible both during the day and at night? Over time, house numbers can fade or get obscured by landscaping. Take a moment to evaluate your house numbers and ensure they are easily seen from the street.

  • Emergency Safety: In emergencies, rescuers may lose valuable time trying to locate a home. Clearly visible, illuminated, or reflective numbers help responders find you in the dark or under stressful conditions.

  • Navigation & Services: They allow delivery services (UPS, Amazon) and guests to find your home accurately, reducing incorrect deliveries.

  • Visibility Standards: The Bel-Nor ordinance require numbers to be visible from the street. They should be at least 3 inches tall.

  • Curb Appeal & Property Value: Well-maintained and styled house numbers add to the exterior aesthetic and signal pride in ownership.


Neighborhood Safety: Please be alert of phone scammers. They can be tricky and convincing.

Key Strategies to Avoid Scams:

  • Slow Down: Scammers create a false sense of urgency to prevent you from thinking clearly.

  • Verify the Source: If a "bank" or "agency" contacts you, hang up and call them back using a trusted number from their official website or your statement. Do not take a phone number to call back from the person on the call.

  • Never Pay Upfront: Legitimate organizations will not demand immediate payment via unusual methods like gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency.


If You Are Targeted: Report scams to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).
