On Saturday, October 11, the Central Library is open to registered Heartland Book Festival attendees only. Regular services, such as hold pickups, public computers and phones, and public meeting rooms, will not be available.
The Kansas City Public Library recently partnered with Swope Health to expand COVID-19 testing, providing tests at no charge to anyone who is exhibiting coronavirus symptoms, has come in contact with someone who tested positive for the virus, or is in a group at risk of experiencing more severe symptoms.
On May 6, the Swope team tested 123 people in the parking lot of the Library’s Trails West Branch – using up every test available for the day. An additional 100 tests were administered outside the Southeast Branch on Wednesday, May 13, also a capacity event.
Members of the public interested in getting tested for COVID-19 can call Swope Health at 816-923-5800 or visit www.swopehealth.org for more information.
