Press release from the Kansas City Public Library:
December 7, 2021
A highlight of the Kansas City Public Library's year was the February completion of the North-East Branch following its 18-month renovation.
During the work, which was done with input from the community, staff and many of the books in that branch's collection occupied a former restaurant space just across the street in order to continue to meet patron needs.
"One of the things we love about this space is that the North-East Branch isn't just a part of the community, it's embedded in the community," said Library Director John Herron.
The remodeled building not only features new books in multiple languages, but also a studio space for interactive, messy, and inspired creativity.
"Everything was waiting for us to use. Everything was built for us to use. Everything was chosen and selected with us in mind," said Branch Manager Amanda Barnhart.
