Welcoming place where we connect people to information, ideas and one another!

🚨 We have BIG NEWS ‼️
Thanks to our partnership with @dollyslibrary and our donors, we have given out 1,000,000 books to south central Kansas children through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library!

[HesstonPublicLibrary @HesstonPL]

Please do not stack and then close children's books in the drop. It can damage the books and back up the drop for other patrons. Please only stack two books at a time, close the drop, repeat as needed. This ensures the books lay flat in the bin.

On the go? Skate on in for a good read!
