The future of the Main Library will be the topic of three community feedback sessions planned April 28, May 7 and May 16.
The Kansas City, Kansas, Public Library is holding the feedback sessions so that the community members may share their thoughts about the future of the Main Library, according to a library news release.
The sessions will be at 1 p.m. April 28, 6 p.m. May 7 and 11 a.m. May 16 at the Main Library, 625 Minnesota Ave., Kansas City, Kansas.
The current Main Library building was opened in 1966 and has been operating for more than 50 years. The community, in the meantime, has grown and changed, and the feedback sessions are designed to get information about what community members want and need at the library, according to the news release.
The original Main Library building was built in 1902 at 625 Minnesota Ave. as a Carnegie library. That building was demolished in 1965 for a parking lot for the current building. Kansas City, Kansas, Public Library was formed in 1895. In 1899, it came under the authority of the Kansas City, Kansas, Public School District Board of Education and remains there today.
Those community members who are not able to attend any of the three sessions may take a short survey available at www.kckpl.org/main-project.
