Technically I was right, what do I win?

[OldCentralLibrary @ICTOldLibrary]

I've been (kind of) vacant for 4 1/2 years. Twitter might be gone before the city figures out what to do with me and I think that is hilarious.

[OldCentralLibrary @ICTOldLibrary]

Whatever

[OldCentralLibrary @ICTOldLibrary]

Or, just spitballing here, maybe the city could be more transparent

[OldCentralLibrary @ICTOldLibrary]

I wish I could say I'm surprised

Wichita turns to deception to boost its image, with paid influencer propaganda posts https://t.co/VavOVSc0h7

In 2019 when we tried to tackle the future of the East Bank, Save CII wailed and gnashed their teeth about all the amazing ideas that people were ignoring. Well it’s 5 years later and we’re still crowdsourcing ideas for the library and all we’ve come up for CII is “bluer roof.”

Idk trampoline park or indoor playground or something like that

[kansasdotcom @kansasdotcom]

Have an idea to reuse the old Central Library building? Wichita still wants to hear it https://t.co/ESAqTkWuQL

[OldCentralLibrary @ICTOldLibrary]

NGL I haven't heard many ideas that sound good

"Gerard Kleinsmith says he hates the idea of censorship.

He just wants to pull the lease for the city’s public library because he doesn’t like books about transgender people."

🤔

[KMUW @KMUW]

The public library has been under scrutiny from local officials for months, narrowly surviving an attempt to pull the lease at the end of last year.

If this story is right, then a group of people made a false assumption concerning an easily checked fact - what the rainbow infinity flag represents - and decided being anti-gay was more important than knowing facts. Gross.

Yes, I'm still here. Somehow.

Strongly structured panels on the façade and deep setbacks+projecting building elements create an interplay of light and shadow on different scales.
