Kansas City Public Library and Children's Center

The library is part of Plaza Colonnade, a mixed-use project created through an innovative public-private partnership. The library offers more of what the community has been asking for: more information, space, programs and technology. Features such as a children’s center, a 350-seat auditorium and a four level parking garage with 200 spaces just for library patrons make the library a vital community asset.

The Plaza Branch Library changes the public perception of libraries. The facility is an ‘information playground,’ one that has both the traditional elements of a library and the technology to adapt to the future. It offers something special for children and their parents, students and their teachers, community members and their visitors.
