Kansas City's Public Library: Empowering the Community for 150 Years
Author: Jason Roe
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781524888091
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
From the humble beginnings of a single bookcase in 1873, the Kansas City Public Library grew into a bedrock cultural institution with an ambitious mission of bolstering the people's welfare, inspiring lifelong learning, and empowering citizens through knowledge. Across one and a half centuries, Kansas Citians ranging from Walt Disney to entrepreneur Ewing Kauffman, civil rights activist Alvin Sykes, Mayor Kay Barnes, and Congressman Emanual Cleaver II, have sought out the Kansas City Public Library's resources for professional inspiration, personal respite, and community uplift. Kansas City's public library is an indispensable agent of community empowerment. On its 150th anniversary, its continuity of purpose--and its place at the heart of the city's civic culture--is clearer than ever. Ever since its formative years in a wild western setting, and spanning decades of urbanization and social upheaval, the spectrum of the Library's history is inseparable from that of Kansas City. Generations of patrons have sought out its resources for self-improvement, community uplift, or as a safe space to exist without obligation or payment. This meticulously researched book explores the Library's record of achievement, the challenges it has weathered, the diverse backgrounds of its supporters, and, in some cases, its historical shortcomings. Today the Library enriches its community with innovative programming (recognized with a National Medal for Museum and Library Service from the Institute of Museum and Library Services), cutting-edge technology, and a commitment to serve all members of the community.
