📚 Unbelievable! Book Spine Parking Wall + First National Bank Vault

I saw photos online of the famous book-spine parking garage in Kansas City and knew I had to see it in person! 🏙️📖 But – fair warning – Kansas City has several libraries with similar names, and I ended up at the wrong one first 😅 I went to the Kansas City Public Library, where I found a cool circular book sculpture at the entrance – made of real books! ⭕️📘 🧭 Here’s the important part 👇 The famous book spine wall is actually at the: Central Library – Community Bookshelf & Library Parking 📍 You can navigate directly to “Community Bookshelf” In fall or winter, you can probably get a full unobstructed view 🍂❄️ But in summer, the trees are kinda in the way 🌳🌿 Still – so exciting to spot the Tao Te Ching up there! Felt a little proud seeing that 😊👏 💎 But wait – there’s more history here! This building used to be the First National Bank 🏦 Now it’s the Catholic Center (how cool is that?) And downstairs in the Central Library’s lower level… Lies the original bank vault from the First National Bank of Kansas! Later, it was turned into a movie theater 🎥 And now it hosts special film screenings 🎞️ I was surprised to see classic Hong Kong films being featured – starring Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung, Chow Yun Fat, and Louis Koo! 🎬🇭🇰 When it comes to cultural exchange and fusion, old-school Hong Kong cinema truly was a pioneer 🌍✨ #ExploreHistory #HiddenGems #KansasCity #LibraryLovers #BookSpineWall #UrbanExploration
