Library information:
Remember to visit the Human Spirit collection of multicultural and
multifaith materials at the Plaza Branch Library. This collection,
created by Cultural Crossroads with advice from the Greater Kansas
City Interfaith Council and multiculturalists is an excellent resource for
teachers and the general public. We all benefit from learning
about each other!

Local libraries are sources of art exhibits. Check the website of your
neighborhood library to see what’s showing. See the Resources tab on
our website for the websites of local library systems.
Our libraries are excellent resources and we are fortunate in KC Metro
to have a wealth of library systems and branches -- check your local library
for free classes on computer literacy, foreign languages, bilingual programs
and English as a second language. Libraries also host numerous art
exhibits, listing them on a daily basis, so check the website of your local
library for information. The Kansas City Library System now offers passport
applications at the Westport, I.H. Ruiz, and Trails West branches. You can
also call the KC Library Dial-A-Story Line (816.701.3456 or visit kclibrary.org/kids
any time -- day or night – to hear a story suitable for all ages!)

The Kansas City, Kansas Library System now has a new program
