The building is the only Carnegie library remaining in the Kansas City area, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It has 7,500 square feet and houses 93,000+ items. Today the library offers books, tapes, videos, software and a large Spanish language collection, as well as services for youth, adults, and Internet access for all.
