Of course Billington Library is wonderful. But have you heard about the other top-notch library in our area? The Kansas City Public Library will receive the National Medal for Museum and Library Service at a White House ceremony tomorrow night.
KCPL was recognized for its Books to Go project, which delivers books monthly to more than 7,000 preschool-aged children through Head Start programs and other similar venues; its extensive menu of monthly special events featuring presentations by historians, novelists, economists, and journalists; and its kid-friendly Once Upon a Time exhibit and related programming that took place in winter 2008.
Any Kansas or Missouri resident is eligible for a library card at KCPL.
