Welcome to the Reading Party
We’re celebrating the Library’s 150th anniversary all year – and you’re invited to the Reading Party, the 2024 Kansas City Public Library’s Summer Reading Program .
Come as you are and dress up your to-be-read pile of books with your favorite author, genre, subject, or format.
Join us in celebrating the power of reading to build bonds, create connections, inspire, enrich, and empower.
