The Wichita Public Library is celebrating 150 years, but the work ahead may matter most. Explore our history, the state of young children and families in Wichita, and a special reveal of the Library's next chapter.
We’ll also share an eye-opening look at the state of young children and their families in Wichita. More than 75% of local children enter kindergarten not fully ready to learn, a challenge with long-term implications for our community.
For 150 years, supporting young learners has been at the heart of the Library’s work. Now the challenge is bigger than ever. What does that mean for our community, and what role can the Library play next? Join us to reflect on where we’ve been, explore where we’re headed, and discover how you can help shape the Library’s next chapter.
