I only saw the giant books adorming the walls of the library, so I cannot comment on the insdei of the library itself. However, it is worth passing by this display as it is quite unusual and dominates the road. The lovely trees were fourishing and so blocked some of the view in the photos.

Pathetic excuse for a library. I requested a book almost a month ago. Apparently they did not have it, but said they could get it from another library. After a few weeks, I send an email asking the status of my request. They did not bother to respond. Today when I tried to login to see if there was an...

This is an absolutely amazing and beautiful library. The architecture is wonderful. It's a place you want to go and stay a while. The children's area was so nice I had to peel my granddaughter away. They also have a little cafe. We also enjoyed the parking structure next door that looks like a book shelf. Just a great stop...

The main hall is three stories tall with massive pictures, and there is often free entertainment...musicians or dancers...there. The children's area is magical. Check the visitor's photos because mere words cannot do it justice. There is a small bistro for...

This is one of my favorite buildings in downtown KC. The architecture is beautiful! Try to get to the roof and check out the view. And of course, the giant books on the parking garage are super awesome :)

I spent a few hours at the library before my flight home to kill time with a little reading and it is a beautiful library and very relaxing. Check it out. Parking is a pain (and expensive) but other than that, it's a perfect way to spend a day.
