More Library Whimsy

A few posts ago, I shared these photos of library trucks from MY library in Overland Park, Kansas. Yesterday, I saw this post from Kansas City Daily Photo and it reminded me that other cities in the area also have a sense of whimsy. The photo is of one of the Kansas City, Missouri libraries - not sure if it is the main branch, but it is the Plaza location. The outside of the building appears to be giant books on a shelf!

I love it when libraries make me smile before I even get inside!

I love books. I love libraries. This building is wonderful! I had no idea. I hope it won an award somewhere! C

I don't get to the Missouri part of the city very often...I am glad that they are giving their libraries the attention they deserve!

While I love where I live, and everything it offers, this is the stuff that makes me miss KC.
