Mid-Continent Public Library - Woodneath Library Center, Kansas City MO

Mid-Continent Public Library has great staff, a collection that can be accessed easily through holds or even digital downloads, and a strong set of programs that support the community, creativity, and education in a balanced way. Kudos for such great use of funding and thus support, encouragement, and education of all library patrons in the community.

A great place for kids and to sit and have a coffee. The staff is friendly and always helpful!

Great library with very helpful employees!
I love the Woodneath Library Center! It is a beautiful and spacious library with a wide array of free resources and services for all ages. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the programs are engaging and informative. I especially enjoy the Story Center, which is housed in the historic homestead on the property. It offers many opportunities for writers and storytellers to learn and share their craft. The library also has a great collection of books, movies, music, and online resources that I can access anytime. I highly recommend this library to anyone who loves reading, learning, and exploring!

It looks great, but I have never seen a library team in such a rush to run everyone out. Borderline rude and the woman was out of breath trying to move so fast to check me out because it was 5: 59.

This is the best library ever. So much to do for the kids and adults. Lots of fun events and story telling time during the week. Also, having friendly bean coffee with super reasonable prices helps

The facilities are top notch. But it seems as though every time we utilize this library something happens. From a parent telling my 18 month old they are putting toys away wrong to someone grabbing him that we don’t know and not letting go until the 3rd time I loudly say to let him go.
It’s quite unfortunate we truly enjoy the facilities. The coffee shop is amazing, but I know other parents cautioned me against going to this branch due to the other parents disregard and lack of mutual respect and boundaries. Unsure if we will continue to use this branch for their Storytime.

Staff super friendly and also they help over the phone to extend books from the loan system I am so happy for the service they give

Such a unique library! Very modern inside, clean, and beautiful outside. The library is built into an old manor house! The staff is friendly and helpful and they have meeting rooms you can reserve. I love this place!
