Just bought my ticket to hear @JoyceCarolOates discuss her latest two works and support my favorite library. Looking forward to it!
Enjoy a fundraising dinner and hear from award-winning author Joyce Carol Oates, learn about neighborhood restoration, hear a live performance as we explore America's musical heritage, and more this November.
Invite your friends and spend time with us at the Library!

Sending a little library love today. Whenever I travel, I make a point of finding the nearest library. They're a wonderful way to experience local architecture, explore a community, and enjoy a welcoming public space open to everyone.
Libraries may be the greatest treasure chests ever created. The best part? They let you take the treasure home.
📚 Thanks, @KCLibrary
