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.

During Welcoming Week, September 10-19, organizations and communities across the U.S. bring together people of all backgrounds to build strong connections and affirm the importance of inclusive places in achieving collective prosperity. The Library's Refugee & Immigrant Services & Empowerment team, along with other Library staff, celebrated the ties that bind community with a series of welcome messages, and the Library is taking part in local events with the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, the local chapter of the Welcoming Coalition, and other groups.
