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

Lol Elizabeth Schieber. Your kids are gross without shoes and can get hurt if they step on something sharp. How do you not know this? Lmfao. If the staff know they don’t have a book after three minutes of looking- They don’t have the book. If you ask them to look in the back- WHERE THEY WORK A LOT- Then yeah, you’re dumb and rude. You’re obviously an impatient idiot. Waldo library has a wide variety of books. Including comics and manga for teens! ITS ALWAYS HARD TO GET TEENS TO READ. It seems like their collection is always expanding.

My dad LOVES that he can use the cds and burn them onto his iPod. It’s his favorite thing.

I wish I looked more into their movie selection, they seem to have a good amount of movies from what I hear.

They have soooo many activities. For kids to stay entertained, teens to stay out of trouble, and adults to get help they need.

While the computer wait time can take some time- You’re probably impatient if you think it’s too long. People don’t know how to reasonably wait nowadays.

Their staff is so kind!! I had a woman stay with me while the library was closing and try her best to find the WEIRDEST topic for a school project. (The book she selected wasn’t used, but it was sure as heck interesting!)

They have a small, but AWESOOOOOME shelf of books that are FILM CONCEPT ART BOOKS! As an artist, I am impressed.

It may not be the biggest, flashiest, or quickest library. But it values more important things: Variety, friendliness, AND...

It was my first time there and as I walked in the staff kept looking at me weird like they didn't want to be bothered. So I asked the security that I needed to use a computer/printer and he was like they are over there and if you have any questions one of our librarian can help you and as soon as he said that they all looked at me like okay go help yourself. So I ended up just following the instruction they have infront of their computers and printer and thank God I was able to figure out without having to bother anyone in the library that works there. And they didn't even bothered to approach me or help me in any way and I wasn't going to ask after the way they looked at me. Well the end of the story is I didn't feel welcome at this place so I will stick with Mid-Continet Library they are more welcoming and try...

Don't even bother, this place is useless unless you're wanting to check out a book. I had a question for a reference librarian, wanted to translate county "parcels" to latitude and longitude. Presumably this is something that is in a reference book, but nobody even tried - my question was dismissed with in a minute, and they waved at the computers. When I said that I'd exhausted own searches already I was referred to the main library downtown. I could have sworn people actually had degrees in library science but apparently they're not required by this location.

Sorry, but I grew up in an era when librarians prided themselves on being able to find any particular piece of information. This was...
