Kansas City Public Library: Southeast Branch — Attraction in Kansas City

Kiesha was really genuine and nice on the phone when making the rsvp. and in real life she is very genuine and sincere.

No apologies are sorry for raising my voice just them starring at my every move as I grab my book and leave. I have never had this issue at an MCPL no matter when they close, but something about the KCPL seems like their angry at the customer just...

The book selection is rather small, even smaller than the Westport branch which seems to have a smaller square footage/building footprint. Thankfully quiet but since there are few books of interest on the shelves despite this location being the closest to my house, I'll just save the time and request book holds at Central or Plaza Library.

They do have more computers than other branches though so there's that if someone needs access to a computer connected to...
