There were horses at the Library?! 🐎😍 The Copper Boyz recently stopped by the Bluford Branch for a screening of their @kansascitypbs film and to celebrate storytelling, culture, literacy, and family fun.

Patrons were able to interact with ponies, participate in crafts, learn new skills through hands-on play activities such as lassoing, explore a curated collection of African American literature, and enjoy community connection.

The days may be getting shorter, but it's a great time to try something new. The Library's neighborhood locations offer free opportunities to play games, watch movies, join craft circles, and of course, check out books.

Also, routine reminder for my KC peeps: if you have a @KCLibrary card you can access NYT Cooking *for free.* Such an under appreciated resource for library card holders. https://t.co/I7lNGSOX5j

It's Election Day! Don't forget to cast your vote. 🗳️ Three of the Library's branches, Trails West, Waldo, and North-East, serve as polling places. As these locations facilitate civic participation, you may notice more visitors throughout the day.

Spot the difference. 🔍 Our Missouri Valley Special Collections team dressed up for Halloween as the man who held the 1940 tax assessment signs!

In 1940, more than 50,000 images of Kansas City structures were photographed and assembled. The public can view this collection at https://t.co/Gf13OTBfr1.

We had an open call for artwork, and the whole world showed up! 🌏 People's perceptions of freedom from 12 different countries, 30 different states, and all around the metro are being displayed at the Guldner Gallery at the Central Library.

This exhibition is now open to the public. Stop by and browse or pick up a card to contribute your art to the ever-growing wall of liberty.
