History
The Lucile H. Bluford Branch of The Kansas City Public Library stands as a tribute to one of the city’s most accomplished and beloved individuals.

The branch was updated with a $1.9 million renovation in 2009. In January 2023, the Library purchased additional property near the Bluford Branch with an eye toward expanding its 15,000 square-foot facility.
