For the third year, the Kansas City Public Library, Missouri Humanities, the Missouri Center for the Book – and now the Mid-Continent Public Library – are proud to present the Heartland Book Festival, free to all.
We are thrilled that you’ve joined us to celebrate the people and ideas that shape not only the books you love but society itself. By connecting with each other and today’s visiting authors, you strengthen the fiber of the community at a time when such strength is critical.
